Classic cake "Emerald Turtle"
Ingredients:
- Bank of condensed milk;
- 2 incomplete cups of flour;
- 1 egg;
- Pinch of vanillin;
- A teaspoon of hydrated soda.
For the cream:
- 2 eggs;
- 2 tablespoons of flour;
- 2 cups of milk;
- 1 cup of sugar;
- 1 packet of butter;
- A packet of vanilla sugar.
Preparation: First you need to knead the dough.It is done very simply and quickly. Pour the condensed milk into a bowl, break one egg into it, add baking soda quenched with vinegar or lemon juice, vanilla and beat it all with a whisk until smooth. Then gradually, in small portions, begin to add sifted flour, kneading an elastic dough. Put the finished dough on a table sprinkled with flour and divide it into eight equal parts. Peel the kiwi (a lot - six to eight pieces) and cut into circles. Now you need to prepare the cream, since the cakes bake very quickly, and you need to assemble the cake from warm cakes and hot cream. So, beat the eggs with sugar and mix the resulting mass with flour. Pour the milk into a saucepan, add vanilla sugar and the egg-flour mixture. Mix everything well and put the saucepan on low heat. Without stopping stirring, boil the cream until thick, and finally add the butter. Turn off the heat, stir the cream well and cover the pan with a lid. Now we start baking the cakes in a frying pan. Roll out eight flat cakes from the dough to fit the size of the frying pan in which we will bake them, and prick them in several places with a fork. Grease the frying pan with butter, put it on the fire and bake the cakes in it one by one, frying them on each side for no longer than one minute. Stack the finished cakes so that they do not have time to cool. Now assemble the cake, placing the cakes on top of each other and spreading them with cream. Cut off the edges of the cake, put the trimmings in a bowl and pour the remaining cream over them. Leave the cake and trimmings in the cream to soak, and then coat the cake with the cream mass, forming it into the shape of a turtle shell. Place kiwi slices on top, and cut out paws and a muzzle from whole berries. That's it! Our "Emerald Turtle" is ready!
Jelly Cake "Emerald Turtle"
Ingredients:
- 2 cups of thick, thick cream;
- A glass of sugar;
- A pound of sweet crackers;
- 60 grams of gelatin;
- A packet of vanilla sugar;
- Kiwi.
Preparation:First, you need to soak the gelatin by pouring cold water over it. The proportions and soaking time are on the packaging, as different manufacturers recommend different ways of using it. While the gelatin is swelling, prepare the cake pan. It is best to take a round bowl, which resembles a turtle shell when turned upside down. Wash the bowl and wipe dry. Peel and cut the kiwi into circles. Now put the swollen gelatin in a water bath, add a little more water (significantly less than indicated in the instructions) and heat it until completely dissolved. Next, we proceed to a very important stage of making the cake. Take a culinary brush and, dipping it in liquid gelatin, grease the inside of the pan, simultaneously lining its bottom and walls with kiwi circles. You need to do this quickly, as the thin layer of gelatin thickens almost immediately. Put the pan in the refrigerator and start making the jelly. Place the cooled sour cream in a suitable bowl, add sugar and beat until fluffy. If you can't get it fluffy, don't worry - the jelly will still work. Break the crackers into small pieces and pour them into the sour cream. Mix the resulting mass and pour the gelatin into it. Now take the mold out of the refrigerator and carefully pour the sour cream mass into it. Put the bowl back in the refrigerator and leave it there until the jelly has completely hardened. Before serving, dip the bowl in hot water for a few seconds, then carefully tip it onto a plate, removing the cake from the mold. To complete the image of the turtle, make a head and paws from kiwi.
Cake "Emerald Turtle" made from biscuit biscuits
Ingredients:
- 2 cups of flour;
- 6 eggs;
- One and a half cup of sugar;
- A teaspoon of baking soda;
- Half a glass of walnuts;
- 4-5 pieces of kiwi fruit.
For the cream:
- A pack of butter:
- Half a glass of sour cream;
- Bank boiled condensed milk;
- Vanillin.
Preparation:Break the eggs into a bowl, add granulated sugar and beat with a mixer until white. Now mix the sifted flour with baking soda (unslaked!) and pour it into the egg-sugar mixture, kneading the dough. Turn on the oven and let it heat up to 200 degrees. Cover the baking sheet with baking paper and put the dough on it with a tablespoon, placing the cakes two centimeters from each other. Bake the sponge cookies until golden brown. Remove the finished cookies from the baking sheet, bake the next batch and so on - until all the dough is gone. While the cookies are cooling, beat the cream. To do this, mix soft butter with sour cream, beat lightly, and then, continuing to beat, add boiled condensed milk in small portions. At the end, put a pinch of vanillin. We assemble the cake from cookies, greased with cream, forming a turtle. The paws and muzzle can also be made of cookies. We coat the entire cake with cream on top and decorate it with kiwi slices and nut kernels. We put the cake in the refrigerator for a few hours, after which our "Emerald Turtle" is ready to go on the table. As you can see, the "Emerald Turtle" can be very different.
