"Emerald tortoise" - a cake that is most often made from sour cream cakes (or with the addition of condensed milk) and decorate kiwi. This fruit helps give a festive treat a wonderful green tint. "Emerald Turtle" - a cake, the recipe of which may be different. You can take any cakes and cream, and cover with green mastic on top - this technique will give you scope for creativity. Finally, consider the simplest option: “Emerald Turtle” - a cake (photo three) from cupcakes. Even children can cook and decorate it.
"Emerald Turtle" - a classic cake
You will need a can of high-quality condensed milk (without vegetable fats), half a liter of ordinary milk, a pack of butter, vanillin, a glass of sugar, half a kilogram of flour, a teaspoon of slaked soda and three eggs. Knead the dough. To do this, first beat the condensed milk with one egg, vanilla and slaked soda. Add 450 g of flour in portions. Knead the resulting mass with your hands - you will have an elastic dough. Divide into 8 parts and, covering with a plastic bag, leave for half an hour. On a slow fire, cook a cream of milk, sugar, vanilla, a couple of spoons of flour and two beaten eggs. Make sure the squirrels do not curl. To do this, stir slowly, heat gradually. It is better to take the dishes with a thick bottom. In a thickened cream, throw all the butter, stir until it dissolves. Cover. It is important that the cream does not cool while you cook the cakes. Roll the rolled dough cakes with a fork in several places.
Take a convenient frying pan - we will bake cakes on the stove. This is another feature that the Emerald Turtle has. The cake is suitable even for those who do not have an oven. Fry each cake for one minute on each side. Spread on a plate, grease with cream. Shift cakes with kiwi slices. Cut the cake so that it has the shape of a regular circle. Grind the remaining cake layers and mix with the remaining cream. Put on top in the form of a dome. When the cake is saturated, give it the shape of a turtle with your hands . Lay out kiwi slices from above, make paws and a muzzle out of them.
You can make the same cakes, but you get a completely different “Emerald Tortoise” - the cake with the help of mastic will take any form. To make it, buy a 100-gram bag of marshmallows and two glasses of powdered sugar. You will also need a green food coloring and a spoonful of butter. Melt chewing marshmallows. Add oil. Slowly add the icing sugar (only half at first) and dye. When the mass looks like green plasticine, roll it on the rest of the powder, cut out the cover for your turtle.
Cupcake cake
This is the most uncomplicated option. You should prepare any cream (oil, protein) and add a little green dye to it. Bake your favorite sour cream chocolate muffins (you can even buy them in the store, but they should be large enough) - 7 or 9 for the body of the turtle and 5 for its legs and head. Then you need to form a turtle and cover with green cream on top.
