Kiwi turtle cake step by step recipe. Kiwi Cake "Green Turtle"
Let's take a break and have some tea! And as a dessert, we will prepare a kiwi cake. Pleasant light sourness of fruits goes well with cream and walnuts. Kiwi has many health benefits. To taste, it slightly resembles strawberries, gooseberries or melons and contains many vitamins and minerals that are beneficial for health and skin elasticity, strong immunity, good figure and good mood.
It is eaten raw, dried, dried, added to pizza and sauces for meat and fish dishes. And today we will try a delicate and fragrant cake.
Cake Ingredients
As a basis, we take the usual biscuit dough. Just add some walnuts to it. Ours is easy. Cooking takes very little time. We take:
250 g sugar;
150 g flour;
A bag of baking powder;
Vanillin;
Walnuts - 100 g;
Salt on the tip of a knife.
Cooking the right biscuit
Add walnuts to the kiwi cake, more precisely, to the dough. To do this, we clean them, lightly fry in a pan, grind in a blender to a state of flour. Separately, mix sugar, salt and vanillin, add eggs and beat with a mixer for about 4-5 minutes until fluffy, but not strong foam. Sift the flour through a sieve, mix with baking powder, chopped nuts and gradually add to the eggs, continuing to beat. The dough should not be very liquid, but like thick sour cream.
We grease the form with vegetable oil and fill it two-thirds. Leave it on the worktop for a few minutes before baking. The dough will evenly cover the form, and a light crust will form on its surface. Now you can bake. For many, it is more convenient to use a detachable form - it is then easier to remove it from it. In the oven, select a temperature of 180 degrees and bake for about half an hour.
During the baking process, you do not need to open the oven - the biscuit will not rise and bake poorly. Readiness to check easily, pierce it in several places with a fork or a toothpick - they should remain clean, without dough residues.
Do not immediately remove the biscuit from the mold. Let it cool down. This will take approximately 5-6 hours. A good biscuit should stand upside down. Then its surface will be flat, without a slide. You can set 3-4 wide cups on the table and turn the cake over on them. And so that it does not dry out, you can cover with a dry towel.
Impregnation for cakes
In order to make the sponge cake with kiwi more juicy and tender, we will prepare a special impregnation. It is used before lubricating the cakes with cream. We will need:
Water - 1 tbsp.;
Coffee - 3 tbsp. l.;
Sugar - 3 tbsp. l.
Dissolve sugar in water in a small saucepan and heat until boiling. Cool down.
We brew coffee, filter, add it to the sugar syrup. Mix well. Well, coffee impregnation is ready.
Layer for cakes
Our kiwi cake goes well with buttercream. For it we need:
Cream 30% fat - 450 g;
Powdered sugar - 200 g.
As you know, cream is well whipped chilled. Therefore, before preparing the cream, we will send them for a couple of hours in the refrigerator. Then beat with a mixer, gradually introducing powdered sugar, for 5 minutes until soft peaks form. It is better not to use sugar - often it does not have time to melt.
Assembling a kiwi cake
We divide the finished and cooled biscuit into 2 cakes and soak each with coffee syrup. It is good to use a silicone pastry brush. It allows you to evenly apply liquid over the entire surface. Lubricate not the inner porous part of the cake, but the outer one, on which a crust has formed, and turn it inward. So the cake is well saturated on all sides.
Peel the kiwi and cut into cubes. We spread the bottom cake on a dish, grease it well with cream, put kiwi slices and pour cream on top. We cover with the second cake, align the edges and grease the finished cake with butter cream on top and sides.
Dress up the turtle
Before decorating the kiwi cake, send it to the refrigerator for a couple of hours. So it is better saturated, the upper layers of the cream will harden and it is easier to decorate. In the meantime, let's prepare the fruit. Our cake will be in the form of a green turtle.
Carefully remove the skin from the kiwi and cut into slices. We leave one whole: cut out the head, four legs and tail of the turtle from it. We decorate the cake with circles all over the surface. At the end, add the head, tail and paws. Well, everything is ready! You can drink tea.

Fast and tasty
You might think that the main advantage of the Emerald Turtle cake recipe is the ease of preparation.
However, if we are talking about the original presentation, as well as saving on expensive components, the Emerald Turtle cake is a budget option that has no competitors.
Unlike most recipes for sweet pastries, the Emerald Turtle cake is cooked in a pan in a matter of minutes, but this does not detract from its taste and does not affect the quality. The only thing you have to tinker with when forming the Emerald Turtle cake is with a kiwi decoration. But the result is worth it!
Making the Emerald Turtle Cake step by step
Cream preparation.
- Combine slightly warmed milk, eggs, sugar in a mixer bowl. Mix everything thoroughly and add 1.5 full tablespoons of flour and vanilla sugar to a homogeneous mass. Turn on the mixer at medium speed and beat the mixture for 1 minute;
- Pour the future cream into a saucepan with a non-stick coating and put it on a slow fire. Stirring should not be stopped until the mixture becomes sufficiently viscous;
- Upon reaching the desired consistency, turn off the fire immediately, and put the diced, softened butter into the hot egg-and-milk mass. Set aside the cream to cool
Cooking cakes.
- We spread the entire contents of a can of condensed milk into a container for kneading dough, drive in an egg and, stirring the thick dough base with a long wooden spoon, gradually introduce the following components: soda and flour;
- As the mass is compacted, we begin kneading with our hands until, in the end, we get a plastic dough that easily lags behind the walls of the bowl. Now you need to form 8 identical balls from the dough;
- On a board, lightly floured, roll out a cake from each ball to the size of the diameter of the pan in which you will cook;
- The pan can only be slightly greased with butter, or you can not grease it if it has a non-stick coating. We spread the cakes on a preheated pan one at a time, make several pricks with a fork and bake under the lid, giving no more than 40 seconds on each side;
- At this point, the Emerald Turtle cake recipe can be varied in two ways:
- For example, cut the cakes in a circle of a convenient diameter, and set aside the trimmings for sweet topping;
- Or, do not cut off the edges, only slightly trimming them along the edge, and put crushed shortbread cookies on top;
- We form a cake, spilling cream on each cake. Nothing, if it protrudes from the sides, we will also thoroughly miss the sides, laying the top;
- If we cut off the cakes, then as a result our Emerald Turtle cake, as in the photo recipes on the Internet, has a rounded “dome” top. But if we went for the second option and the cake remained flat, we will have to form another 2-3 layers of thick biscuit cookies that narrow upwards. We will also smear them with cream and our recipe for the Emerald Turtle cake cooked in a pan will become a little more complicated, but even more original;
- Now, without deviating from the classics, we sprinkle the whole cake with crumbs from scraps or cookies and do painstaking decoration. To do this, we clean a few pieces of kiwi, cut into thin circles and lay them on top of the cream so that no gaps are visible.
Ideally, an Emerald Tortoise cake cooked in a pan takes 15 minutes of time, but there are many options to complicate the cooking process by adding new details to it. Filling the top and sides of the cake with a layer of transparent green jelly can be such an option.
The paws and head of our turtle are best made from large marmalade, also green, and currant berries will serve well as eyes. Cake "Emerald Turtle" is a beneficial field for fantasy, a pleasant variety and a small reason to please your loved ones.
Bon appetit!
Dessert cake Emerald, which hostesses can still recognize by the name "Emerald Turtle", will greatly delight the children, and not only for the holiday.
Of course, he will have to devote time, but only an hour or two.
Cake "Emerald Turtle" ready-made
Kiwi, such an unusual fruit with an incredibly high content of useful elements, is liked by many, and is used as an independent dessert, and as a filler for desserts and even vegetable and meat dishes. It is a mistake to believe that the kiwi is the way out of New Zealand, as many people think. The birthplace of the fruit is ancient China, where the fruit was first grown.
A cultivated plant was brought to New Zealand only by 1906, calling it "Chinese gooseberry". And later, when the demand for an unusual fruit began to grow, they gave it the name of the Kiwi bird, which is a symbol of a country of national importance.

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.
You need to divide the finished dough by about 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 a work 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 diameters of plates to fit a different size slide, 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.
Ingredients:
- condensed milk (in dough) - 1 ban.
- egg (2 in cream, 1 in dough) - 3 pcs
- soda slaked with vinegar (in the dough) - 1 tsp.
- flour (+2 tablespoons in cream) - 450-470 g
- milk (in cream) - 500 ml
- sugar (in cream) - 1 stack.
- vanilla sugar (in cream) - 1 package.
- butter (in cream) - 200 g
Kiwi for decoration.
Cooking:
Since the cakes are cooked very quickly, it is better to cook the cream right away. Pour milk into a saucepan, add 2 eggs, 2 tablespoons to it. spoons of flour, a glass of sugar and a bag of vanilla sugar, beat well with a whisk and put on a slow fire. Cook, stirring, until thick. Add the butter to the hot cream, stir and cover with a lid so that the cream does not cool down.
Now let's get to the crusts. Pour the condensed milk into a bowl, add the egg and mix well. Then add soda slaked with vinegar and gradually add flour. When it becomes difficult to mix with a spoon, transfer the dough to the work surface and knead. It is not necessary to score strongly - the dough should be soft and elastic. Divide the dough into 8 equal parts.
Roll out each cake and prick with a fork in several places. Heat up a skillet over medium heat and start baking. Cakes are baked very quickly - literally 1 minute and immediately turn over. Thus, we bake all 8 cakes.
Then we take a plate of a suitable size and cut off all the cakes. If there is no kiwi, then trimmings can be used to sprinkle the cake. We begin to lubricate the cakes with cream. Our cream is still hot, the cake will soak very quickly. Then the top of the cake and the sides are also well lubricated.
