How to make an emerald cake with condensed milk

At the beginning of the process of preparing the cake, let's take care of the cream. The custard will cool down perfectly while we cook in a pan (or in the oven) shortcakes for the base of the cake. In addition, it does not tolerate distracted attention. That is, during its preparation, you should not be distracted, otherwise it will burn.

It is worth noting: The cream, which we will now deal with, is great not only for impregnating cake layers, but also perfectly complements any, especially as a filler for.

Break the eggs into a bowl and beat them well.

Divide ready dough you need, approximately, 10 or 12, but of different sizes, since we will collect a cake in the form of a turtle, where the shell narrows to the top. That is, roll about 5 larger balls, make 4 smaller balls, and the rest are very small.

You don’t have to bother: make all the balls (8 pieces) of the same size, and adjust the bumps and edges (in size to decrease) by trimming the diameter of plates of different sizes.

On the working surface, lightly powdered with flour, roll out our shortcakes into thin flat cakes.

Rolled out dough for cakes needs to be “perforated” with a fork

We prick their surface with a fork so that they do not bubble and remain even when baking.

We start baking cakes. You can cook shortcakes in the oven, but we will make it easier: fry them in a preheated large frying pan (or whatever you have).

"Baking" the cake in a pan

You need to fry on both sides, turning over. You don't need to use frying oil.

We trim the finished cakes around the edges. To do this, we will use a plate.

If there are no different diameter plates to fit different size slides, then you can prepare (for example, from cardboard).

Cake layers "Emerald Turtle"

We won't throw away the scraps. Firstly, the kids will eat them with pleasure, and secondly, they will be useful to us when assembling the cake.

We begin to deal with kiwi fruits. They need to be thoroughly washed and peeled.

Cut the peeled fruit into rings or ovals.

We collect the Emerald cake

On the base (plate, tray or) we lay the first cake, and grease it with cream.

Put rings or ovals of kiwi on the smeared cake. We cover everything with the second shortbread, and also grease with cream and lay the kiwi.

• Content:

Beautiful, solemn and joyful recipe excellent cake resembling a turtle. In fact, it is precisely on the basis of this that it is called the Turtle cake. Children are completely delighted with this toy cake.

Needless to say, the most basic thing is to beautifully lay out your turtle from the taken pieces of biscuit. But I think that every hostess can easily cope with this task.

Ingredients:

• 6 eggs
• 2 cups of flour,
• 1.5 cups sugar (maybe less)
• 1 teaspoon baking powder (or baking soda slaked with vinegar)
• vanillin.

• 2 cups sour cream
• 1 cup of sugar,
• 200 gr butter.
• Nuts - walnuts, peanuts, which ones do you like.

• 50 gr. butter,
• 4 tbsp. spoons of milk
• 4 tbsp sugar
• 2 teaspoons of cocoa.

How to make turtle cake:

Drive 6 eggs into sugar, mix.

Adding vanilla sugar, whisk everything in a fluffy mass.

Sift flour and baking powder. Knead a homogeneous dough, consistency, like pancakes.

Pour small pancakes onto a baking sheet with a spoon (from a tablespoon - 2 pcs). It is more ergonomic to cover the baking sheet with parchment, greased with oil - then the cakes are easier to remove.

Separately, I "artistically" pour out the paws, head (two parts - top and bottom) and the tail of the future turtle. From cocoa powder, using a toothpick, draw eyes on the head.

It is better to do these parts of the Turtle first - in case something spread and did not work out, then there will be an opportunity to repeat. Or simply from the same cakes, as for the shell, lay out the head, paws and tail.
The cakes are baked in hot oven at 200 degrees C, no more than 5 minutes. They reach readiness very quickly! (if there are two baking sheets, then while one is filled with “pancakes”, the other is already ready).

You need to remove the cakes from the pan quickly, while they are soft. Parts of the head and paws need to be bent a little in order to give them a quantity and wait a minute until the cakes cool and harden a little.

From the whole dough, about 3-4 baking sheets of blanks are obtained. Here is such a hill.

At a time when the cakes are ready, proceed to the cream. Add sugar to soft butter and mix well.

Pour in the sour cream, pour out the vanillin and beat with a mixer for 3-4 minutes until the sugar is completely dissolved.

The cream is very soft, gentle and watery.

AT ready cream we lower the cakes so that they are soaked.

Parts for the paws, head, tail of the turtle, of course, for the top of the shell, we do not omit the cream.
Put a layer of cakes on a dish, generously grease with cream and sprinkle with nuts

Later again a layer of cakes, cream, nuts, etc. - we form a voluminous Turtle.

The last layer is laid dry cakes without cream, since we will fill them with glaze. And on top of the fat butter cream the icing will not lay down in an even layer, it will curl up.

While we cook the glaze, it is possible to put the cake in the refrigerator so that it freezes.

Options for making glaze a large number of: from chocolate, from cocoa, from toffee, but I like the icing the most, according to Juliet's recipe. How to cook it, you can see in detail here, see Recipe No. 2. Briefly: melt 50 g of butter, add 4 tbsp. spoons of milk and 4 tbsp. spoons of sugar, cook until sugar dissolves. Pour in 2 teaspoons of cocoa powder, boil thicker so that the icing does not drain from the cake.

Drizzle the cake with frosting. Paws, tail and head can be left intact.

We make out the shell of the Turtle at our discretion. Sprinkle with nuts and again place the cake in the refrigerator for several hours.

And here is the cutaway view:

The cake turns out to be very soft, affectionate, and appearance brings the child to admiration!

Perfect baking is when it is fabulously tasty, appetizing and beautiful. It is easy to bake this at home, following the classic recipe step by step or experimenting, if you choose the Turtle cake.
