My children are terrible gourmets, they love something sweet (especially "for after dinner").

• Kitchen appliances and utensils: bowl, mixer (hand blender, whisk), parchment paper, culinary spatula, baking dish (tray), containers, dipper for icing, cake dish.

Turtle cake has a special charm - a simple recipe. The result exceeded my expectations - the dessert came out amazing. The most important thing is that we made it with the whole family, everyone found something to do.

Features of product selection

Before you bake the Turtle cake at home, you need to choose the right products. All ingredients must be fresh. Any vegetable oil is suitable, but always refined. For cream, it is better to use fatter sour cream (25% and above). The range of products can be expanded upon request. including in the recipe additional ingredients- bananas, kiwi, marmalade, etc.

There are a huge variety of types of biscuits in the world: they are baked using whole eggs or exclusively from egg white or yolk, from different types flour (wheat, oatmeal, rice, etc.), from powder rye crackers, and even from baked potatoes. The taste, smell and texture of these biscuits vary greatly. Only the technology of preparation and the structure of the dough does not change.

History of the Turtle Cake

The origin of the Turtle cake and its history are lost in the past. The invention of biscuit shortcakes is attributed to both English sailors and French confectioners, and the way to lay out a cake from biscuits soaked in cream could well have originated in Italy. The main thing is that the "Turtle" cake has become really popular, has stood the test of time, has retained its classic recipe and taste qualities.

How to make a turtle cake at home

The process of making a cake is divided into several stages. At the first stage, you need to prepare the dough and bake the "body" of the cake.

The technology for making the Turtle cake includes a number of simple operations that can be entrusted to children. This is, firstly, informative - the kids will know how to cook "Turtle"; secondly, it will make the process itself more interesting for them; and, thirdly, it will help save time (you can perform actions in parallel).

The "body" of the cake will consist of several dozen small biscuit shortcakes. In some recipes, it is recommended to bake one cake and cut into a glass right amount"round". We will choose the classic option - we will bake small shortcakes.

To properly prepare the Turtle cake, a recipe with a photo will help step by step:

Turtle cake will be denser if the recipe includes cocoa powder in the dough (the cakes will not rise as much when baking).

Recipe for cream cake "Turtle"

We pass to the second stage. Properly prepared cream for "Turtle" is the key to success. Mix the ingredients in a deep bowl. Butter must be whipped with a blender, gradually adding sugar (it is advisable to first remove the butter from the refrigerator to soften). After all the sugar and butter have already been whipped, add sour cream. Beat the mass until it reaches a fluffy and light consistency.

The recipe for "Turtle" involves the formation of the "body" of the cake:

How to decorate and serve the Turtle cake beautifully

This stage is the most creative. It is here that there is an opportunity to show their artistic talents: after all, a turtle (despite the fact that it is a cake) must have a muzzle, claws, etc.

by the most simple option will pour glaze. Everything you need to make the glaze necessary ingredients place in a saucepan, bring to a boil, stirring constantly, and cool. After that, pour it over the cake (wipe smudges with a napkin). You can create patterns with a spatula.

When decorating, you can use everything that is at hand - nuts, dragees, fruits, coconut flakes. A bar of chocolate can be rubbed on a grater and sprinkled with shavings or melted in a water bath and applied with patterns.

After learning how to make a turtle cake in classic version, the recipe can be improved by selecting new ingredients.

When baking shortcakes, you need to keep a distance between them - otherwise they can merge into one cake.

My practice suggests that such a cake is best served uncut (otherwise the effect of meeting with the "Turtle" will not be so stunning).

In the XVIII-XIX centuries. court doctors often attributed to replacing bread with biscuits and using them together with wine to improve the functioning of the heart and stomach. Instead of being useful, such biscuits were harmful. The twenty-five-year-old poet Byron, who for three years ate only biscuits and wine, fell ill with severe forms of heart and kidney failure, which led to his premature death at the age of 36.

For those who decide to make a Turtle cake and use our recipe with step by step photo We'd like to give you some advice:

• dough for biscuit shortcakes should acquire the consistency of thick sour cream;
• You can check the readiness of the cake with an ordinary match - stick it into the dough and check by touch. If the match is dry, the shortbread is ready;
• if possible, put the cake in the refrigerator for several hours. We finished our cake the next morning - the taste became even more intense.
