Ingredients

Servings

Flour

150 G
Egg C1

4 pcs
Sugar

250 G
Starch

2 tbsp
Blueberry

200 G

Preparation

Step 1

Break the eggs into a clean, dry bowl. Add the sugar and beat well with a mixer.

Step 2

Add cornstarch to the frozen blueberries. This will prevent the berries from releasing too much juice and the pie from becoming too watery.

Step 3

Add flour to the egg-sugar mixture and carefully mix everything with a spatula using bottom-up movements.

Step 4

Prepare the baking pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper and grease it with butter. This will make it easier to remove the finished cake.

Step 5

Place the dough into the baking pan and smooth it out.

Step 6

Add blueberries on top of the dough. Bake the pie at 180°C for 40 minutes.

Step 7

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool. Then, slice and serve.

Why doesn't the charlotte turn out fluffy?

A properly made charlotte always turns out incredibly airy and fluffy. However, if the recipe is not followed correctly or the baking process itself is altered, the pie may fail to rise or, conversely, sink after baking. There may be several reasons for this:

Underbeaten eggs. The process of beating the eggs determines how fluffy the finished charlotte will be. If the eggs haven't doubled or tripled in size after beating, the pie will be flat.
Inaccurate mixing of flour and egg-sugar mixture. The same problem applies here. Even if the eggs are well beaten, they will settle if mixed roughly with flour. In this case, you can forget about the fluffy cake.
Using wholemeal flour is also a very important factor, as it affects the airiness of the dessert.
Baking this delicacy in an unheated oven. Remember that the charlotte cake must be placed in a preheated oven. Before you begin preparing the dessert, turn on the oven first. This will allow the oven to preheat and allow the cake to rise properly.
Opening the oven door while baking. The sudden temperature change when opening the door will cause the charlotte to settle and not rise again.
