Ingredients

Servings

Egg C1

3 pcs
Sugar

100 G
Butter

150 G
Honey

50 G
Baking powder

4 G
Soda

3 G
Apples

5 pcs
Flour

220 G
Salt

1 pinch
Spices (ginger, nutmeg, cinnamon)

0.25 tsp

Preparation

Step 1

Prepare the required amount of ingredients. Sweet and tart apples are best for this recipe; they perfectly balance and offset the sweetness of the dough.

Step 2

Wash the apples, peel them, and cut them into large cubes. If the peel isn't too tough, you can leave it on, as it's the skin that typically contains the pleasant tartness and apple flavor.

Step 3

Combine the eggs, salt, and sugar in a blender. Beat thoroughly until pale and fluffy. This may take 5 to 10 minutes, depending on the power of your mixer.

Step 4

Melt the honey and butter in the microwave or over a double boiler. Mix together and let cool to room temperature.

Step 5

Combine all dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, baking soda, and spices. Mix thoroughly until evenly distributed.

Step 6

Pour the cooled butter and honey mixture into the beaten eggs and sugar. Mix with a mixer for 1-2 minutes. Be careful not to let the butter settle to the bottom; whisk thoroughly along the bottom and sides of the mixing bowl.

Step 7

Add the dry ingredients a little at a time. Mix until smooth. Be sure to sift the flour through a sieve to ensure a lump-free dough and fluffy, airy baked goods.

Step 8

Add the apples to the dough and mix thoroughly until smooth. The apples will make the dough quite thick.

Step 9

Line the bottom of a baking pan with foil and grease the sides with butter. Transfer the batter to the pan and smooth it out gently with a spoon or spatula. Sprinkle with sugar on top. This will give the finished cake a sweet and crispy crust.

Step 10

Bake at 170 degrees Celsius for 60 minutes. Check for doneness with a toothpick. Before serving, you can garnish the charlotte with powdered sugar.

Answers to frequently asked questions

Why can the finished charlotte turn out dry and tough?

There could be several reasons. The first is that the baking temperature is too high. The dough dries out quickly in the oven. The second reason is that the dough is too thick. When baked, it turns out tough and dense. The third factor is that the apples are too hard, which don't release enough juice during baking.

Why does the charlotte fall after cooking?

Charlotte cakes can sink if the eggs and sugar aren't beaten thoroughly enough. Also, remember that all ingredients should be at room temperature. Opening the oven door too often during baking can also cause the cake to sink.

This is how easy and simple it is to bake an incredibly delicious, moist apple charlotte. How do you bake charlotte? Share your favorite methods in the comments.
