Ingredients

Servings

Flour

160 G
Baking powder

1 tsp
Egg C1

3 pcs
Sugar

200 G
Kefir

120 ml
Sunflower oil

5 tbsp
Vanillin

1 G
Pear

3 pcs

Preparation

Step 1

Crack the eggs into a deep bowl, add sugar and vanilla. Beat thoroughly with a whisk or mixer until pale.

Step 2

Pour kefir and sunflower oil into the eggs. If you don't have kefir, sour milk will do. You can substitute any vegetable oil for the sunflower oil, as long as it's refined and doesn't have a strong odor.

Step 3

Combine the flour and baking powder and sift into the liquid mixture. Whisk until smooth. Be sure to sift the dry ingredients first, otherwise lumps may form in the dough. Sifting also aerates the flour, which helps the baked goods rise during baking.

Step 4

Wash the pears thoroughly, dry them, cut them in half, and remove the core. Cut into thin slices. It's best to use firm pears for this charlotte; they won't lose their shape or turn into mush during baking.

Step 5

Line a baking pan with parchment paper. Pour the batter into the pan and spread it evenly with a silicone spatula. Arrange the pear slices on top.

Step 6

Bake the charlotte in the oven at 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit) for 45 minutes. Cooking time will vary depending on your oven. Test for doneness with a wooden skewer.

Step 7

Let the finished charlotte cool slightly, remove from the pan, and remove the parchment paper. Place on a serving platter and sprinkle with powdered sugar, if desired. Serve.
