That’s looks just about ready to jump in my mouth. Why’s it called turtle cake? Looks so moist. A lot of people get squeamish around the world moist. :drooling_face:

To me moist is good in cake.
This friend of mine and I used to make white cake on Saturday mornings to take on our adventures. When i was 10 and 11.
Ill try and get her recipe from her.

Why Turtle?
Maybe because this gentleman is so slooooooooooow ( like a turtle) in this video.

*AI Overview

“Turtle cake” or “turtle cheesecake” gets its name from the popular candy, “Turtles,” which are pecans and caramel covered in chocolate, and the cake or cheesecake is named after the candy because it incorporates similar flavors and ingredients.

Here’s a more detailed explanation:

  • The Candy:

The “Turtles” candy, developed by Johnson’s Candy Company (later DeMet’s Candy Company) in 1918, features a combination of pecans, caramel, and chocolate.

  • The Name:

The candy got its name because the shape of the chocolate-covered caramel and pecan clusters resembled a turtle shell.

  • The Cake/Cheesecake:

The “turtle cake” or “turtle cheesecake” is a dessert that emulates the flavor profile of the candy, using chocolate, caramel, and pecans as key ingredients.

  • Variations:

Turtle desserts can come in various forms, including cakes, cheesecakes, pies, and even cookies, all sharing the common theme of chocolate, caramel, and pecans.

PS she’s clearly used walnuts not pecans.
