Cake Bird's milk simple - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can use gelatin, but the texture will be slightly different. Use 2 teaspoons of powdered gelatin dissolved in 1/4 cup of cold water, then heat until melted. Note that gelatin sets at a lower temperature than agar-agar.
Store the cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For best results, keep it away from strong-smelling foods to preserve its delicate flavor.
Yes, ensure the sugar used is vegan (some refined sugars use bone char), and substitute the condensed milk with a plant-based alternative like coconut condensed milk. Agar-agar is already plant-based.
Yes, but adjust baking times accordingly. A larger pan will result in a thinner cake and may require less baking time, while a smaller pan will need more time. Keep an eye on the cake as it bakes.
Serve chilled, sliced into small portions as it's quite rich. Pair with fresh berries or a light dusting of cocoa powder for added elegance.
Yes, wrap individual slices tightly in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 1 month. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before serving to maintain texture.
You can test the syrup by dropping a small amount into cold water. If it forms a soft ball that holds its shape, it's ready. Be cautious, as overheating can ruin the texture.
Substitute sugar with a keto-friendly sweetener like erythritol and use a low-carb condensed milk alternative. Note that texture and taste may vary slightly from the original.
