Method

How to Make Bird’s Milk Cake

Whip the egg whites with granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 5-7 minutes.
Fold in the all-purpose flour and cocoa powder until combined, using gentle motions.
Bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 20 minutes until cooked through.
Make the buttercream by whipping egg yolks with sugar until pale and creamy, around 5 minutes.
Gradually add whole milk and cook over low heat, stirring constantly until thickened, about 10-15 minutes.
Remove from heat and beat in unsalted butter and vanilla extract until smooth.
Combine hot cream with semi-sweet chocolate to create a silky ganache.
Assemble the cake by layering chocolate cake, buttercream, and drizzling ganache.
