Charlotte with cherries - selection of dishes

For example, you can choose a glass or ceramic dish for baking charlotte. This is the right step, because glass, as well as ceramics, are considered environmentally friendly and safe materials for health.

Cooking in them is simple and convenient, and desserts will not cool down quickly, since these forms have low thermal conductivity. Agree, it is much more pleasant to eat a warm pie with hot tea or coffee.

Unfortunately, aluminum or enamel baking dishes cannot be praised in the same way as glass ones. Today on the market you can find 80% of low-quality, cheap materials that sellers pass off as a 100% safe product. Aluminum often oxidizes, and the enamel chips off the surface of the mold, and it is prohibited to use such utensils in the kitchen in the future.

A silicone mold is also suitable for baking charlotte. It is very flexible, so the process of removing the mold from the finished cake is not complicated in any way. One important piece of advice: you should not buy cheap forms, because they may contain aggressive chemical impurities. Pay better attention to high-quality forms from well-known manufacturers, because, as you know, they don’t skimp on health.

Charlotte with drunken cherry

Women of the post-Soviet space often alcoholized cherries, obtaining not only a delicious berry infusion, but also an original ingredient in many desserts. In honor of this “drunk” cherry, a cake with the same name was even invented.

An interesting fact is that charlotte with “drunken” cherries and apples can be prepared at any time of the year, since when preserved in alcohol, it can be stored for a very long time.

In order to create your own charlotte you need to take:

• A glass of flour,
• Eggs – 3 pieces,
• Glass of sugar
• Two small apples
• 2 tbsp. l. cocoa powder,
• 2-3 tbsp. l. cherries,
• 2-3 tbsp. l. prepared cherry alcohol,
• Baking powder – 1 sachet,
• Spices – cinnamon and cardamom.

Cut the apples into slices, beat the eggs with sugar, add flour, baking powder, cocoa, spices and knead the dough. We supplement it with cherries and tincture. We generously coat a ceramic or glass mold with margarine or butter, dip the dough into it, lay the apples on top and place it in a preheated oven. Cooking temperature – 180-200 degrees, time – 45-50 minutes.

Chocolate charlotte with cherries

Chocolate goes well with cherries, highlighting its taste and neutralizing the acid. Charlotte with cherries and chocolate is an incredibly appetizing and juicy dessert with a rich, refined taste. The highlight of this dish will be the sweet glaze.

What ingredients do you need to prepare:

• One glass of flour
• Glass of sugar
• 2/3 cup ripe cherries,
• 120 g margarine,
• Eggs – 2 pcs.
• Soda slaked with vinegar - 1 tsp.

For the glaze you will need:

• Dark chocolate bar,
• 2 tbsp. l. heavy cream.

Let's start cooking: combine flour, sugar and eggs, beat well with a mixer. Melt the margarine and stir into the mixture. Add soda and then cherries. It is better to sprinkle the cherries with sugar first.

Now you need to prepare a baking dish, grease it and sprinkle with flour or breadcrumbs. If you have a food-grade silicone mold, these manipulations will not be necessary.

Pour the dough into the mold and place in the oven for 40-50 minutes. While the cake is rising, you can start frosting. To do this, melt a chocolate bar in a stainless saucepan over low heat, add cream and stir for 1 minute. To prevent the chocolate from burning, you can place the saucepan in a water bath.

After the cake has cooled, pour chocolate glaze on top and you can enjoy the amazing taste of homemade baking.

Cooking time -15 minutes + 35 minutes in the oven

Yield: 8 servings

This is the 4th charlotte I have made. I personally came up with the recipe and tested it - the dough is very tasty and simple. As I already wrote in other articles, here I decided to take as a basis the recipe for the simplest fluffy charlotte without baking powder, starch and soda in the oven, but add a quarter cup less sugar.

I used to think that charlotte was a purely apple pie, but it turned out I was mistaken, because charlotte is the name for virtually any sponge cake. By the way, . And now I’m interested in finding out what kind of filling, other than apple, is best suited for charlotte. This time I decided to try making cherry charlotte in the oven, a step-by-step recipe with photos, which you will see below.

I have already tried charlotte with strawberries, nectarines and apricots. Now I tried charlotte with cherries. And I can say with confidence that among them, cherry charlotte is the most delicious!

It is sour and very tasty.

To tell the truth, I don’t eat cherries at all (maybe that’s why I was so impressed), because cherries seem to taste better to me, otherwise cherries are kind of sour. But I don’t even eat cherries, because memories from childhood of worms that I saw in almost every cherry, especially in children’s camp, cause tension, since I can’t calmly eat it without checking every berry. So I thought, it’s better to peel the cherries first so that the pie is baked better and the filling is distributed more evenly, besides, during the cleaning process I might notice someone and throw out the berry, and if there’s anyone alive there, then let him burn in hell in the oven. At the same time, I’ll treat you to a pie according to my signature recipe, which I’ve already pleased many of my friends with.

Prepare the ingredients (there are actually more cherries in the photo than you need)

Beat 4 eggs without shells into a deep bowl and add sugar.

Beat eggs with sugar for 10 minutes.

Earlier at this point I recommended turning on music and dancing. Now I decided not only to dance, but also to simultaneously take out a silicone mold with the other hand, grease it just in case, dry the cherries with a paper towel and remove the pits. This will increase the speed of cooking! One hand is operating a blender, the other is preparing for the next stage, and the legs are dancing :)

Beat at low speed at first and then at high speed towards the end. Take short breaks just in case to avoid overheating the blender.

In the end this is what happens

Then sift the flour into it

Stir, for example with a wooden stick. I already tried it with a blender - the flour flew in all directions.

Turn on the oven to preheat to 180 degrees.

Meanwhile, pour some of the dough into the prepared baking dish (I decided to buy a silicone mold with a hole in the middle so that it bakes better) and arrange half of the pitted cherries.

Fill with batter again and arrange another row of cherries again. Then fill it again

Bake for 35 minutes at 180 degrees.

On a warm summer evening it’s nice to treat yourself and your loved ones to a fragrant pie.

This is refreshing and allows you to get true pleasure. The main thing is to choose the right recipe and strictly follow it.

Charlotte with cherries - a quick recipe

Charlottes with the classic recipe are considered to be almost instant-cooking pies; cherry ones are not inferior to them in this regard. But even here you can find simpler and more economical options, and as a rule, they are also faster.

Ingredients:

• cherry berries – 300 gr.;
• a glass of flour and sugar;
• four eggs;
• two tablespoons of starch;
• vanilla powder – 1 g;
• half a spoon of baking soda or a full spoon of ripper.

How to quickly prepare charlotte with cherries

Remove the pits from the cherries. Place the berries in a colander and leave in it, placing a bowl underneath.

Pour sugar into a container convenient for whipping and pour in the eggs. Starting to beat at minimum speed of the mixer, gradually increase the speed. Beat the sweet mass for at least 8 minutes.

Add any of the indicated rippers to the flour and re-sow the mixture. Pour into the sweet egg base and stir in gently.

First roll the dried cherries well in starch, place them in the dough and mix well.

Pour the contents of the bowl into a greased mold and place it in an oven preheated to approximately 200 degrees for half an hour. Without removing from the mold, cool the cake.

Ready baked goods can be decorated with powdered sugar. To ensure that the powder spreads evenly, the powder is sifted onto the top of the cake through a sieve. A patterned paper stencil will help you get a beautiful top.

Traditional recipe

Everyone is accustomed to making a pie with apple filling, but using the same method you can make charlotte with cherries. Its components are extremely simple and accessible to everyone:

1. Wash and sort the cherries. Free it from the seeds. Place the berries in a colander and allow excess juice to drain. Otherwise the cake will be too runny.

2. Beat the eggs together with the sugar. There is no need to separate the whites from the yolks. Start beating at low speed and gradually increase it to high speed. In a couple of minutes the egg foam will be ready.

3. Add baking powder or slaked soda into the prepared foam. Sift the flour and, stirring constantly, gradually add it to the egg mixture. In this case, the spoon should constantly move in the direction from top to bottom. This will help enrich the dough with oxygen, which will make it fluffy.

4. Line a baking pan with parchment. Place cherries on the bottom. Pour the prepared dough on top so that all the berries are covered entirely. Level with a spoon. Place the pie in the oven. Baking time at 200 degrees is about 40 minutes.

To quickly remove pits from cherries, use special tools. If there are none, simply squeeze out the seeds using a wooden skewer.

The most delicious and fluffy charlotte with cherries is made in the oven, but you can also cook it in a slow cooker. It is also recommended to line the bowl with parchment before cooking. Otherwise, extracting the finished pie from it will be problematic.

Apple charlotte with cherries and nuts

Another quick pie option. The recipe calls for dried cherries, but if you don’t have them, you can replace them with fresh or frozen ones. Such berries, like dried fruits, can be pickled in alcohol, but after that you need to dry them well in a colander and squeeze lightly.

Ingredients:

• selected eggs – 4 pcs.;
• 230 gr. dark sugar;
• three large sweet apples;
• half a glass of dried cherries (pitted);
• three tablespoons of rum or cognac;
• half a large lemon;
• two tablespoons of peeled walnuts;
• half a spoon of cinnamon powder;
• 40 grams of “Peasant” butter.

Step by step recipe

Scald the dried cherries with boiling water, pour in rum and leave for a while to soften. If the pie is being prepared for children, it is better to use cherry juice instead of alcohol.

Cover the bottom of the mold with parchment and rub it with a thin layer of butter. Sprinkle the oiled paper with sugar (50 g), coat the sides of the mold with vegetable oil.

Thinly peel the apples without cutting the fruit and remove the core and seeds. A through hole should form, up to one and a half centimeters in diameter. Cut the apples into rings, similar to canned pineapples, one centimeter thick.

Arrange the fruit rings along the bottom of the pan.

Squeeze out the softened cherries and tightly fill the holes in the “washers” with berries. Fill the free space between the apples with walnut pieces. Sprinkle everything with ground cinnamon.

Scrape the zest from the lemon with a fine grater. We do this carefully so as not to touch the white pulp. Measure out a teaspoon of chopped zest.

Pour the eggs into a bowl and, whisking with a mixer, bring them until they almost triple in volume. Without ceasing to beat, gradually add sugar. After this, continue beating for another 8 minutes, adding the zest at the end.

In the center of the bowl, pour some of the sifted flour onto the dough, mix from bottom to top with a wide spatula or spoon. Having received a homogeneous mass, add the remaining flour using the same method.

Pour the batter over the fruits laid out in the mold and level the surface.

We cut the remaining apples into small cubes and evenly arrange them with the remaining cherries on the surface of the future charlotte.

We bake, as in any previous recipe - heating 180 degrees, duration about half an hour.

Cool the finished cake without removing it from the mold. Then we insert a knife between the cake and the side of the pan, carefully circle it to separate it. Turn the mold over onto a plate and remove the charlotte.

There is no need to decorate this pie; thanks to the nuts, apple rings and cherries, it already looks presentable.

A simple recipe for charlotte with cherries from bread

Mix alcohol into the cooled cherry filling.

Pour the remaining 75 grams of sugar into a small plate, melt the rest of the butter in a saucepan on the stove.

Prepare the molds. For portioned charlotte, it is better to take containers for large muffins. We moisten the bottom and walls of the containers with vegetable oil.

We cut out circles from the slices of bread, the size of the bottom of the containers and rectangles, 2 mm wide below their height.

First dip the round pieces in oil on both sides. Dip one side into sugar and place in the molds, sugar side down. Use the same method to close the sides.

Compacting well, fill the void with cherry filling and place the molds on a baking sheet.

Cover each container with foil and place the baking sheet in a hot oven. Bake at 200 degrees for 40 minutes.

After cooling slightly, use a knife to separate the sides of the portioned charlottes from the walls and remove them from the molds.

You can decorate a portioned charlotte, just like a classic one, with powdered sugar, but it’s especially delicious served with a scoop of ice cream.

Rub the sides and bottom of the mold with a thin layer of butter and sprinkle with semolina. Turn the container over the sink to empty the remaining cereal.

Stir the settled dough and fill the mold halfway. Lay out the cherries and fill the berries with the remaining dough.

Having formed the cake, place the pan in a hot oven and bake for about twenty-five minutes.
