"Birds Milk Cake"

Russian Ptichye Moloko Cake Recipe!!!

 <<Торт Птичье Mолоко>> 

This is my 100 post! Woohoo!!!  It's been really fun 3 months since I started this blog. I made Birds Milk Cake to celebrate:) It's traditional Russian cake; my favorite since I can remember. It can be made in birds milk candy bars covered in chocolate. Bird's Milk Cake it's like out of this world. It's a VERY moist milky-white bundt cake with a thin biscuit-like base. The rest of it is milky, not quite custardy, soft almost souffle-like....  Your tastebuds will dance as it melt in your mouth.



Ingredients for cake (biskvit) batter:
5 eggs
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup flour
1 tsp baking powder (optional)
1 tsp vanilla

   Syrup for  biskvit: 
Mix 4 oz milk with 1 tbs  sweetened condensed milk

Ingredients for birds milk:

4 cups Sugar
1 stick butter ( softened at room temp)

Sweet Crepes Filled with Ricotta "Блины с творогом"

 Sweet blini is one of my favorite childhood dessert.  They’re simple to make and the taste is rewarding. 

  Ingredients for crepes:

½ cup warm water
1 cup warmed milk

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 cup flour (I used Canadian flour)
2 tbs sugar

Cranberry Muffins

 Muffins are what we call a "quick" bread and you can see why when you make these Cranberry Muffins. These are delicious muffins either warm from the oven or at room temperature. Your kids will love them in their lunchboxes or as an after school snack with a tall glass of milk. I am going out to lots of places this summer like parks, swimming pools etc. These are so great to bring with you as  snacks. My friend Oksana gave me this recipe. When we were flying on the plane she brought these muffins and shared with us. I asked her for recipe and now I can share with everybody. 

Savory Crepes Filled with Meat (Блины с мясом)

 My mom used to make these  blini with meat and eggs for us when we were young and I remembered we all loved it very much.  We simply grew up with these. This is one of my favorite childhood food.  They're simple to make,  little bit of batter goes a long way. The best thing is they can be kept in the refrigerator and warmed up later. 
Today I've got a guest post over at Grabandgo Recipes!!!
