Adviсe

For the charlotte, choose bananas that are as ripe as possible. It's best if the skin is spotted—this type of fruit is sweeter and more flavorful.
Charlotte dough is a sponge cake, so beat the eggs at low speeds. This will ensure the air bubbles are uniform in size and won't damage the dough during baking. Larger bubbles will burst, and the cake won't rise.
Be sure to sift the flour before adding it to the egg mixture. Sifting the flour aerates the dough, resulting in a soft and airy baked good.
We determine readiness with a wooden toothpick - the stick should remain dry after piercing the dough.

Answers to the 3 most frequently asked questions

Question for an expert

How to add sourness to charlotte?

To add a tart flavor to the sweet banana charlotte, add currants, lingonberries, or cranberries of your choice to the batter. Gently fold the berries into the batter, then pour them over the bananas.

Why does the dough burn?

Some of the most common reasons why dough burns are too high a temperature or a faulty oven.
In the first case, reduce the oven power and turn off the convection mode.
If your oven is malfunctioning, place a bowl of water in it. The evaporation will save any dough, be it sponge cake, choux pastry, or shortcrust pastry.

What can I do to make the dough rise evenly?

Don't forget to grease the baking pan with vegetable oil or butter so that the cake rises evenly and does not get damaged.
