Step-by-Step Instructions for Bird’s Milk Cake
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Whisk the eggs and 1/2 cup of sugar together for about 10 minutes until pale and fluffy. Fold in 1/2 cup of flour until just combined, pour into a greased 9-inch cake pan and bake for 25-30 minutes.
- While the cake cools, prepare a soaking liquid by combining 1/2 cup of boiling milk with a bit of sugar if desired. Soak each layer evenly with the milk mixture.
- Beat together 2 pounds of sour cream and 1 1/2 cups of sugar until fluffy. Add 15 ounces of sweetened condensed milk, combine, then heat 1/2 cup of milk with 4 packets of Knox gelatine until boiling and whisk into the sour cream mixture.
- Divide the mousse filling between two springform pans, smooth tops, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for approximately 3 to 4 hours until set.
- Heat 1 cup of heavy cream until boiling. Pour over 1 cup of chocolate chips, let sit for a minute, then whisk until smooth. Allow ganache to cool slightly.
- Remove mousse layers from pans. Place one layer on a serving platter, top with half of the ganache, add second layer, pour remaining ganache over and smooth out. Refrigerate for another 30 minutes before serving.
