Ptasie_mleczko Cake or Birds Milk Cake … birthday cake and memories of Down Under
Ptasie_mleczko or Birds Milk Cake ...my adaptation. With a name as intriguing as that, I quickly jotted it down as my Ukranian friend translated it out of her mothers cookbook. There is an eternal charm in handwritten recipes of times gone by, this recipe book is from the 1960's.

The measures are often in glasses from the Old Soviet Union, standardised at 200ml, a measure my sweet friend continues to use as her mother once did.
