Charlotte in a mug in the microwave

Step 5

Microwave for 1 minute at maximum power.

Step 6

Step 7

This is how beautiful and delicious it will be when you decide to try the first spoonful of this quick pie.

Adjust cooking time

Microwave time may vary depending on your microwave power and serving size. Therefore, keep an eye on the surface of the dough. As soon as the charlotte becomes opaque, it's ready to be removed. Microwave a single-serving pie for too long and it will simply dry out.

There is no Maillard reaction.

Microwaves don't work the same way as oven heat. Your Charlotte cake will never turn out golden brown and crispy. If you don't like its pale color, decorate the top with powdered sugar, whipped cream, or a scoop of ice cream.
