Charlotte is one of the most popular homemade desserts, which requires a minimal set of products.
This treat is easy to prepare. However, even here there are some pitfalls. For example, to make the charlotte as fluffy as possible, you need to follow several rules.
Eggs
Sponge cake is a confectionery dough that is characterized by its airiness and fluffiness. This result is achieved due to the many bubbles that appear when beating eggs.
To make the charlotte fluffier, it is better to first beat the yolks with sugar. This should be done thoroughly, until white.
At the end of the dough preparation, beaten egg whites until stiff. This is one of the main secrets of the charlotte's fluffiness.
Dough
Too thick dough is poorly distributed between apples. Its consistency should be like sour cream with a fat content of 15-20%.
If the dough is thick, you can make it thinner with warm milk. But you should never use a cold product, otherwise it will not be fluffy.
Subtleties of baking
If the pie is not baked well, it will fall when it comes out of the oven into a cool environment (room temperature). It will not be fluffy. The disappointment will be the wet and sticky dough inside.
Therefore, experienced cooks advise not to rush. On average, it takes 45-50 minutes for the charlotte to bake. But the optimal time increases or decreases depending on the oven, the size of the pan, and the number of apples.
