  1. STEP 1

    STEP 1

    How to make a Ninja Turtle cake? Bake the cake for the base in a large springform pan (20-24 cm), the sponge cake for the top in a smaller pan (about 16-18 cm). For the cream, use heavy cream. If your cottage cheese is lumpy, puree it in a blender until smooth. Chocolate cream requires soft butter, so remove it from the refrigerator in advance so that it has time to soften. Melt the dark chocolate in the microwave or in a water bath.

  2. STEP 2

    STEP 2

    We will assume that you have already baked the biscuits for this cake. One is green, the other is chocolate. Let the biscuits cool, then cut each into three parts. You will get 6 cakes. Cover the mold in which the large sponge cake was baked with cling film and begin assembling the bottom of the cake. At the bottom we should have the first green cake. Spread the cheese cream over it and spread it evenly over the surface.

  3. STEP 3
