Charlotte is a sweet apple pie. In rare cases, other berries and fruits are used for cooking. Charlotte attracts housewives because it can be made as quickly as possible from simple and affordable ingredients. In addition, this cake turns out to be very tasty and aromatic.
Cooking charlotte begins with beating eggs. Take 3 chicken eggs and break into a container. Using a mixer, beat them with the addition of 1 cup granulated sugar. When the mass acquires a pleasant creamy shade, add 150 g of wheat flour. Continue beating until the dough is smooth. You can add a little vinegar-slaked baking soda or baking powder to the dough if you like. You can give the cake an unusual taste with a pinch of cinnamon.
Prepare your apples. Wash them under running water, peel and remove the core. After that, cut the fruit into thin equal slices and place in an even layer on the bottom of the dish, greased with butter. If you're looking for shape, use a silicone baking dish. In this case, it is not necessary to lubricate the bottom with oil. Pour the dough over the apples and leave for a few minutes. During this time, it will be evenly distributed and fill the voids between the apple slices. For larger cakes, use a baking tray and double the ingredients.
Place the dish in an oven preheated to 180-200 ° C. It usually takes about 30-35 minutes to make a cake. To check the readiness of the charlotte, gently pierce it with a toothpick. If it remains dry, then the cake is ready. Sprinkle the charlotte with powdered sugar or garnish with fruit and whipped cream before serving.
