Probably, every homeland has its favorite homemade recipes. In the absence of the internet and a vast selection of cookbooks, our mothers and grandmothers carefully recorded them in notebooks, to later share the recipes with friends, neighbors, and colleagues. Especially liked recipes were cut out from newspapers and magazines, adjusted to available ingredients, modified to suit their taste, and eventually turned into their own homemade recipes.

Bird's Milk cake is rightfully considered one of the most popular and beloved desserts not only in our country for almost a hundred years. In the old days, people lined up at the pastry shop for this cake, because it was the best gift for any occasion. And now Bird's milk can be prepared at home. Fortunately, all the ingredients are available, and there are so many recipes that you can already create an entire confectionery anthology for one cake. We also prepared our own cake recipe, preserving the classic Soviet technology as much as possible. Airy sponge cakes with a subtle vanilla aroma, shared by a delicate soufflé with condensed milk, are covered with the thinnest layer of real chocolate - well, who can resist such a delicacy and not ask for more after the first bite?

Let's prepare a delicious, fragrant, and very tender banana pie on sour cream for tea! I baked it in a slow cooker, where the pastries come out airy and never burn. If you don't have such an assistant in your kitchen yet, you can bake the pie in the oven at 180 degrees. Cooking will take 40-45 minutes, depending on the features of your equipment. The homemade banana pie turns out fluffy, juicy, and incredibly tasty. It is recommended to use ripe or even overripe bananas for the recipe to make the pie especially aromatic.
