Cherry Charlotte Cake with Kefir
Description
Homemade tea-time pastry. All cooks know that charlotte is a quick and delicious sponge cake pie. You can add various fruits or berries to the batter. Contrary to the classic method, I suggest making charlotte with kefir and using cherries instead of traditional apples. If you decide to make it outside of summer, frozen berries will be waiting their turn in the freezer. Let’s make charlotte with them. You’ll also be pleasantly surprised by how simple and easy it is to prepare. Serve warm or chilled. Perfect with tea.
