Description

The recipe won't take much time. Charlotte is very easy to prepare. The main thing is to whisk the eggs well so that the cake turns out tender and fluffy. This recipe is notable for its simplicity and excellent taste. So, let's get cooking.

Instructions

  1. 1

    Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 180 degrees.

  2. 2

    Step 2

    Prepare the charlotte mold. If it is square or rectangular, line it with baking paper. For a fluted mold, it is better to grease it with butter and sprinkle with breadcrumbs.

  3. 3

    Step 3

    Wash the strawberries, cut them in half, and remove the stems. Set aside 7-10 nice-looking berries to decorate the charlotte. While you're preparing the batter, place the washed strawberries on a paper or kitchen towel to dry.

  4. 4

    Step 4

    Prepare two bowls for separately whisking yolks and whites. Separate the whites from the yolks, place them into separate bowls, and sprinkle with sugar. Add more sugar to the whites, as their quantity is greater.

  5. 5

    Step 5

    Using a mixer, beat the egg whites with sugar separately until thick foam forms, then beat the yolks with sugar.

  6. 6

    Step 6

    Now take a wooden spoon. We won't need the mixer anymore! Gradually add the yolks to the egg whites, stirring gently. Add part of the flour and mix. Then add the baking powder or baking soda neutralized with lemon juice, followed by the rest of the flour. Don't forget to keep stirring! The batter should have the consistency of very thick sour cream. By the way, you can actually omit the baking powder or soda altogether if the batter is well beaten. But, as they say, better safe than sorry—we're not making pancakes here!

  7. 7

    Step 7

    Place the strawberries in the mold, then pour in the batter. Tap the mold on the table to evenly distribute the batter.

  8. 8

    Step 8

    Bake for half an hour at 180 degrees. Check for doneness with a toothpick or a match. When the stick comes out dry - it's done!

  9. 9

    Step 9

    Sprinkle the finished charlotte with powdered sugar and decorate with strawberries and, if desired, mint leaves. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
