Description

This amount of batter is sufficient for a 26 cm diameter pan. Due to the fact that the charlotte rises well and the batter is airy, this size is optimal.

Ingredients

Wheat Flour - 1 cup
Sugar - 1 cup
Chocolate eggs - 4 pieces
Baking Powder - ½ teaspoon
Apple - 4 pieces
Semolina - 0.5 oz
Butter - 0.7 oz
Nutmeg - to taste
Cinnamon - to taste
Salt - a pinch

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Separate the egg whites from the yolks. Whip the egg whites until stiff peaks form with ¾ cup of sugar. Whip the yolks with the remaining sugar until they turn pale.

Step 2

Next, gently fold the whipped yolks into the egg whites using a silicone spatula and mix until homogeneous.

Step 3

Gradually add the sifted flour mixed with baking powder to the egg-sugar mixture. Add a pinch of salt, and optionally, cinnamon and nutmeg to taste. The batter is ready.

Step 4

Peel the apples and remove the cores. Cut them into medium-sized cubes. Fold the apples into the batter using the silicone spatula.

Step 5

Preheat the oven to 392°F. Grease the charlotte pan with butter and lightly sprinkle with semolina. Pour the batter into the pan, sprinkle a little sugar on top, and place it in the oven. Bake at 200 degrees for the first 2–3 minutes, then reduce to 180 degrees and bake until done (on average, this takes 30–40 minutes).
