How to make Emerald Turtle Cake:

Step by step recipe with photo.

Cooking cream.


Let's start cooking the cake by making the custard. If you have never cooked it before, now is the time to try it. After all, this is not at all difficult to do, and yet such a cream is often used not only for soaking cakes, but also for filling eclairs and generally goes well with various pastries.
First, break the chicken eggs and use a whisk to mix them with milk.
Then add vanilla and regular sugar there. Again, shake everything thoroughly with a whisk. Lastly, pour wheat flour into the cream and put everything on fire.

Cook the cream over medium heat, stirring all the time until it thickens, in this case it is about 15-25 minutes. In any case, you will feel when the custard needs to be removed from the stove.
Let the custard cool quite a bit, and then melt the butter in it, stirring until the mass becomes homogeneous again. Close the saucepan with the finished cream with a lid and set it aside for now.

Cooking dough.

In a deep bowl, mix the chicken egg and condensed milk. Separately, extinguish the baking soda with vinegar, and then add it to a common plate. Now it remains only to gradually add wheat flour and knead the dough. First with a whisk, and then with your hands. As a result, the dough will turn out pleasant to the touch, soft and very elastic.
Important: you may need a little more flour, so, as they say, be guided by the situation.
Divide the finished dough into 10-12 balls of different sizes. The easiest way to do this is to first divide the dough in half. Make 4-5 bigger balls from one half, and pinch off about 1/3 from the other half and roll 3-4 small balls out of it, about 3-4 medium-sized balls will be obtained from the remaining dough.


We roll out the cakes.

Prepare your work surface and rolling pin by dusting them with flour. Then, in turn, roll each ball into a flat and fairly thin cake. After you roll out the first cake, prick it over the entire area with a fork.
When all the cakes are rolled out, only then proceed to the next step.


We bake cakes.

Each cake must be fried on both sides in a dry frying pan (dry, that is, without adding any oil at all).


For the best result, first you need to heat the pan well, then lay out the dough and, when it bubbles and is covered with a fried crust on one side, turn it over with the raw side down.


Usually it takes 1.5-2 minutes to fry one cake, so this process is very fast, and if you decide that you will have time to roll out the next portion of the dough while the previous one is being prepared, then you are very mistaken.


We cut off the rinds.

After frying, each cake must be done more carefully by cutting off uneven edges. This can be done using plates of different diameters or pre-prepared templates.
Important: do not throw in the dough scraps, firstly, they are also tasty, and, secondly, they will still be useful to us.
As a result, you will get several cakes of different diameters, thanks to which your turtle's shell will turn out to be the desired rounded shape.


Preparing kiwi.

When both the cakes and the custard are ready, all that remains is to peel the kiwi from the skin and cut each fruit into thin circles or ovals (that is, the kiwi can be cut either lengthwise or across).
Important: it is better to take hard fruits, because softer ones simply cannot be cut thinly.


We collect the cake "Emerald Turtle".

And finally, we come to the most interesting part, the assembly of the cake. To do this, take a flat dish of suitable size and place the first large cake on it, and then pour it with custard.
Using a tablespoon, spread the cream over the entire area of ​​the cake.
Then carefully lay out thin slices of kiwi


From above we again coat them with cream and lay a new cake.
Continue in the same vein, successively reducing the size of the cakes so that the smallest is at the very top.


In order to smooth the corners, take the scraps of cakes and place them in the places you see fit. Then top the cake with the remaining custard. Thus, you will get a hemisphere.

From the remaining pieces of kiwi, make a shell for the turtle. Thin slices of fruit slide well, so it's best to put them on top, and spread out the thicker ones at the bottom.
When the shell is ready, cut out the muzzle, paws and tail from the whole kiwi, place them on the saucer in the places intended for these turtle body parts, and then put the cake to brew for a bit so that the cakes absorb some of the cream.


Serve the Emerald Turtle cake.

After half an hour, the Emerald Turtle cake is ready and you can invite everyone to drink tea.

The cakes turn out to be something similar to cookies, and the cream goes incredibly well with them. Kiwis add some sourness and therefore the cake turns out to be moderately sweet and not at all cloying. So all this beauty not only looks good on the table, but is also very tasty, be sure to try it.
Bon Appetit!

Ingredients:
For test:

  • 1 can of any condensed milk
  • 1 chicken egg
  • 1/2 tsp soda quenched in vinegar
  • 450 g flour

To prepare the cream:

  • 2 eggs
  • 1 thin glass of sugar
  • ½ l milk
  • 2 tbsp sifted flour
  • 1/2 pack vanillin
  • 1 pack of butter

Step-by-step instruction:
1. First, boil the cream so that it cools down while the cakes are baked. For the cream, mix milk with sugar in a saucepan and put on fire.
2. Mix eggs and flour, vanillin into warm milk. We will cook, stirring constantly, until thickened.
3. Cool the cream a little and add butter to it. Let's whip the mixture.
4. We make dough for cakes. In a bowl, mix the condensed milk with the egg, soda and flour. The dough should be soft and elastic. Let's divide it into 8 pieces.
5. Roll each piece into a round pancake and prick it with a fork so that the cake does not puff up during baking.
6. Put the cake in a pan and send it to the oven, heated to 180 degrees. The cakes are baked very quickly, so do not leave the oven, quickly take it out and bake the next one.
7. We take a round plate and carefully cut off all the cakes along it.
8. Lubricate the cakes with still warm cream, coat the sides of the cake and the top well, sprinkle with crumbs. From the scraps we lay out the paws and the head of the turtle.
9. To make the turtle green, cover it with kiwi circles on all sides.

  1. Prepare the custard for the Emerald Turtle Cake. Pour milk into a saucepan and put on fire. Crack the eggs into a bowl, add the flour and mix thoroughly with a fork until completely smooth.
  2. As soon as the milk boils, reduce the heat to the weakest and pour vanilla and regular sugar into it in a thin stream. Beating the egg dough with a fork, pour hot sweetened milk into it by spoonfuls. Thus, pour about a quarter of the milk into the egg mixture.
  3. While stirring the boiling milk in a saucepan, pour the egg mass into it in a thin stream. While stirring with a spoon or whisk, cook the custard until thickened (1-2 minutes). Remove the pan from the heat, add the butter and stir thoroughly until it dissolves. Cover the saucepan with cream.
  4. Prepare dough for Emerald Turtle Cake. To do this, first sift the flour through a sieve into a bowl. Pour the condensed milk into a separate bowl, add the egg and beat with a mixer until smooth. Combine the mass of condensed milk and half the flour, mix.
  5. Quench the soda with vinegar and mix into the condensed milk dough. Then add the remaining flour and knead a soft dough that does not stick to your hands. Put the ball on a floured table and knead it a little with your hands.
  6. Roll the dough into a "sausage" and cut it into 8 pieces. At the same time, 4-5 pieces are larger, and the rest are slightly smaller. Roll out each piece of dough into a round about 20 cm on a floured surface. The last 3-4 cakes should be 1-3 cm smaller in diameter. Prick each layer with a fork in several places. To make the cakes even, cut them out with a large plate of the desired diameter.
  7. Prepare the cake layers for the Turtle cake in a pan or in the oven at 180/200C (10-12 minutes). To do this, put the pan on the fire and heat it up strongly. Put one cake layer on a hot frying pan. After a couple of minutes or when it turns brown, turn it over to the other side.
  8. Fry all the other cakes in this way. If you want to bake cake layers in the oven, you need to cover the baking sheet with parchment paper or sprinkle well with flour. Cool the finished cakes on a wire rack.
  9. Kiwi for Turtle Cake needs to be peeled and thinly sliced. Place the cakes with cream on a dish in the following order: the largest cake, custard, next cake, cream, etc. You need to fold the cakes in descending order in diameter so that the top one is the smallest.
  10. Grease the surface and sides of the cake with the remaining custard and decorate with kiwi. Cut a half of kiwi lengthwise into two parts, put one quarter as a “tortoise head”, and cut the second into two parts and make “paws” out of them. The "eyes" of the turtle can be made into pieces of chocolate or simply slightly cut with a knife.
  11. Leave the Emerald Turtle cake for 4-6 hours in the refrigerator for impregnation. Then take out the dish, cut the kiwi cake into portions and serve. Happy tea!
