Step-by-step recipe
Step 1:
In a deep bowl, pour sugar, half a packet of vanilla sugar, beat 6 eggs and beat with a mixer.
Step 2:
Add the sifted flour in 3-4 batches, beating with a mixer.
Step 3:
Add honey and baking powder, mixing each time with a mixer.
Step 4:
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spoon out the batter in small portions, making small circles. Bake in batches for 10-15 minutes at 180 degrees Celsius. You can bake additional small circles for the turtle's head and feet.
Step 5:
For the sour cream, place the sour cream in a deep bowl, add condensed milk, half a packet of vanilla sugar and beat with a mixer.
Step 6:
If the cream is not sweet enough, add powdered sugar and beat again.
Step 7:
Line a deep bowl with cling film, leaving loose ends.
Step 8:
Dip the finished cakes into the sour cream and place them first on the bottom, then on the sides, and then filling the entire bowl.
Step 9:
Cover the bowl with the cake with plastic wrap and put it in the refrigerator for 3-4 hours to soak.
Step 10:
Pour milk into a ladle, sift in cocoa and stir until dissolved.
Step 11:
Add sugar and stir.
Step 12:
Add condensed milk, stir, place the glaze on the heat and cook for 5 to 10 minutes until the glaze begins to thicken.
Step 13:
Remove the glaze from the heat, add the butter and stir until completely melted.
Step 14:
Cool the glaze, stirring constantly.
Step 15:
Pour the glaze over the cake and refrigerate for 5-10 minutes.
Step 16:
Melt white chocolate, place in a piping bag or piping bag and pipe designs onto the turtle shell.
Step 17:
If desired, place “paws” and a “head” under the edge of the cake.
Cooking tips
When pouring the batter onto the baking sheet, leave enough space between the drops so that they do not merge during baking.
Add no more than 30 grams of powdered sugar to the cream and only if it seems not sweet enough.
There should be less cream on the surface of the cake than inside, so that the icing can be applied well.
Be sure to cool the glaze before pouring it over the cake to prevent it from sliding down the sour cream.
