Cake "Emerald Turtle"

Want to make a cake but don't have an oven? No problem, make a treat using just a frying pan and this unique recipe. Ingredients: For the dough:

  • can of condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon of soda, hydrated vinegar
  • 1 egg
  • 450 grams of flour

For the cream:

  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons of flour
  • 500 milliliters of milk
  • measuring cup of sugar
  • 200 grams of butter
  • vanilla sugar - a tablespoon with a slide

For decoration:

  • kiwis ripe - 10 pieces

Method of preparation:Since the cakes are cooked very quickly, it is better to cook the cream first. Pour milk into a saucepan, add a mixture of two beaten eggs, two tablespoons of flour and a glass of sugar. Beat well with a whisk and put on low heat. Cook, stirring, until thickened, pour in vanilla sugar at the end. Add butter to the hot cream, stir and cover with a lid so that the cream does not cool. As you can see, the recipe for the cream is simple. Now it's time to start making the cakes. Pour a can of condensed milk into a bowl, beat in an egg and mix well. Then add soda slaked with vinegar, and gradually add sifted flour. When it becomes difficult to stir with a spoon, this will mean that the dough is ready - transfer it to a work surface and knead with your hands, adding another 30-40 grams of flour. The lump of dough should be soft and elastic. Divide it into 8 equal parts and roll each into a thin crust, piercing it with a fork in several places. Heat the frying pan over medium heat and start baking. The crusts cook very quickly - literally one minute in the frying pan, and you need to turn them over. Bake all 8 crusts in this way. Then take 3 plates of different diameters and cut 2 of the largest crusts, and 3 of the medium and small ones. The trimmings will be needed for sprinkling the finished delicacy. Prepare a dish on which the cake will be served, and start greasing the crusts with warm custard. Cover the top of the dessert and its sides well with this sweet delicacy. Now peel the kiwi and thinly slice all the fruits into circles. Lay out the kiwi circles in layers, slightly deepening them into the cream. The finished cake "Emerald Turtle" should sit for a couple of hours. Before serving, sprinkle the crumbs around the treat, imitating a sandy seashore. Enjoy your tea!tortoise tortie with kiwi recipe

Sponge cake "Turtle" with kiwi

The small size of the sponge cakes will help you form the cake without extra effort. And the wonderful recipe for sour cream will allow even a novice pastry chef to prepare a delicate cream. For the dough:

  • flour - one glass
  • sugar - one cup
  • eggs - 4 pieces
  • vanillin

For the sour cream:

  • a glass of sugar
  • sour cream (25%) - 700-800 grams
  • cocoa powder (optional) - tablespoon

Method of preparation:First, knead the sponge cake dough. Separate the whites from the yolks. Add half a glass of sugar to the latter and grind with a fork until white. Pour in the flour and mix until a thick dough forms. In a separate bowl, beat the whites until stiff. Begin gradually adding the second part of the sugar, without stopping to beat the mass. The meringue should be strong enough so that it does not fall out if you turn the bowl over. Add a third of the beaten whites to the bowl with the yolks and mix gently with a spoon. This should be done by moving the spoon from the bottom up. Having obtained a homogeneous mass, put in the remaining part of the whites and mix in the same way. If desired, you can make the cakes chocolate by adding a spoonful of cocoa powder. To make the cakes for the sponge cake "Turtle", prepare two baking sheets. Place baking paper on the bottom and put 1-2 tablespoons of dough in small cakes. They need to be cooked in a preheated oven to 180 degrees. Bake them for 10 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 160 degrees and wait another 20 minutes. Leave the finished cookies for 9 hours under a clean towel. The recipe for sour cream is quite unusual and time-consuming, so start preparing it in advance - put a thick clean towel on a sieve, and place the sour cream on it. Cover it with the edges of the towel, and then put the structure in the refrigerator overnight. In the morning, take out the sieve, put the sour cream in a bowl and mix it with sugar using a mixer. Beat until the cream stops spreading and "stands like a cap". It's time to assemble the "Turtle" cake from the parts. To do this, take a large flat plate, lay out several cakes and grease them with delicate cream on top. After the "base" for the dish is ready, form the turtle's head and paws. They must be completely dipped in sour cream. Then lay out the shell from the remaining cookies, also completely dipping the cookies in the cream. After the turtle cake is completely laid out, put it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours so that it soaks. That's it, the recipe is almost complete. Just before serving, cut the peeled kiwi into circles and tightly lay out the fruit in the shape of a shell. Enjoy your meal! As you can see, in addition to the wonderful taste, this recipe will give you aesthetic pleasure. Please children and adults with a beautiful and delicate cake. Cook with imagination!
