Spread the love

Ingredients for 1 servings:

  • 10 eggs
  • 300 g sugar, fine
  • 2 packets of vanilla sugar
  • 2 pinches of salt
  • 12 tbsp water, cold
  • 200 g flour, 405 sieved
  • 100 g cornstarch
  • 2 tsp baking powder, slightly heaped and 2 bags of biscuit perfect
  • 1 pack of cream powder for chocolate mousse
  • 1 jar strawberry jam
  • 2 packets of powdered sugar
  • 1 tube(s) food coloring, green
  • Sugar writing, brown and green

Instructions

Working time approx. 1 hour 30 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 40 minutes; Total time approx. 2 hours 10 minutes

Preheat the oven to 220°C. Important: Mix the batter in two batches, each with half of the listed ingredients. Sift the flour, starch, and baking powder into a bowl, mix, and set aside. Then, crack all the eggs whole into another bowl, add the water, sugar, and “Biscuit Perfekt” (perfect biscuit), and mix on high for 7 minutes. Then reduce the oven to low and drizzle the flour mixture into the egg mixture. Line a springform pan (26 or 28 cm) with baking paper and bake two 2-cm-thick layers, one after the other, for 12-15 minutes each. Be careful, there must be plenty of batter left over! Spread the remaining batter in blobs approximately 8 cm in diameter on the baking sheet and bake until golden brown. This will form the legs, head, tail, and shell layers. Prepare the chocolate mousse according to the package instructions. Place the first layer on a large cake plate and spread with strawberry jam, add the legs, tail, and head, then place a layer of blobs all around the first layer, making sure they are well-spaced (not overlapping). Spread the chocolate mousse on top, then place the second layer on top, also spreading strawberry jam on top. Continue to cover the shell with overlapping blobs. Mix the icing sugar with water to form a thick, sticky paste, then add the green food coloring until you get the desired color. Be careful, only add a tablespoon at a time. Finally, cover the entire turtle with it, let it dry, and decorate with icing as desired.
