How to bake biscuit cakes

First you need to bake the tortoise shell biscuit. Therefore, we begin to prepare the dough.
Crack the eggs into the bowl and beat.
Add sugar.
We extinguish the soda with vinegar and add to the flour.
We pour everything into the bowl.
Add cocoa, mix and get a beautiful coffee dough, not very thick.
We heat up the oven. When serving a biscuit, it should have a high temperature (200 ° C).
Pour the dough onto a parchment-lined sheet with a dessert spoon. We form small drops, leaving a little space for spreading. Bake the biscuits for about 15 minutes.

How to make Turtle Sour Cream

Cream for the cake is easy to prepare: whip sour cream with a fork with sugar. It is better not to take a mixer, sour cream can float and give water.

How to assemble and decorate the Turtle Biscuit Cake

Before assembling the cake, ready-made biscuit cakes need to be cooled and then we form the cake itself.
We take the shortbread, dip it in the cream, cover the bottom of the dish (we don’t save the cream). Then, stack layers on top of each other, forming a kind of slide. When the cake is made, it resembles a tortoise shell, from which, as you probably already understood yourself, the name came from.
"Turtle" fill with glaze.
To do this, melt the chocolate and slightly dilute with milk.
Let the biscuit stand warm and soak for an hour.
Then, we hide it in the refrigerator. The cream and icing will set slightly and the cake will not fall apart when cut.

notes

You should not rush to eat the cake, let the "Turtle" infuse, so it will become much better and tastier.
