Slovenian Charlotte
Baking and Desserts • European
Description
For the sauce, I use yogurts or soft cheeses (like Danissimo ice cream, for example).
Ingredients
- Butter 5 oz
- Egg white 2 pieces
- Brown Sugar 5 oz
- Vanillin to taste
- Wheat Flour 2 cups
- Activated Baking Soda 1 teaspoon
- Sugar to taste
- Apple 20 oz
- Milk 5 fl oz
Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Separate the yolks from the whites. Place the whites in the refrigerator. Whisk the yolks with sugar.
Step 2
Melt the butter (200 g) until soft (you can do this in the microwave for 30 seconds, I usually use a water bath and stir constantly). Combine with the yolks and mix well.
Step 3
Add the sifted flour and the baking soda (you can neutralize it with vinegar, I usually use lemon juice), and mix.
Step 4
Add the milk while stirring. Take the egg whites out of the refrigerator, whip them, and gently fold into the batter until you have a homogeneous airy mixture. The batter should be slightly thicker than pancake batter.
Step 5
Preheat the oven to 355°F. Slice the fruits (in this case, apples, but I highly recommend combining apples with pears, apples with cherries, or with plums; there are many variations).
Step 6
Take a baking dish (you can use a springform pan, I prefer a glass one as it's very convenient for baking), grease it with butter (10 g) and sprinkle with sugar. I use about 0.5 cups. If you like it sweet, feel free to use a full cup, which will result in a more caramelized filling.
Step 7
Place the sliced apples on top of the sugar. Pour the batter evenly over the fruits. Bake at 180–375°F for 45–50 minutes. Check for doneness.
Step 8
Remove from the oven, let it cool, take the charlotte out of the pan, and flip it over with the fruits on top.
