without baking soda and baking powder!
I know that many people know how to bake charlotte, but still, for many, it does not work out airy and lush! I myself always make it "by eye", but the recipe for classic charlotte measured for those who cannot understand why charlotte it comes out with a pancake, then it is not baked, then it burns 🙂 Recipe but this charlottes with jam is no different from the classic one, we just replace some of the sugar with jam. I never add baking soda and baking powder to charlotte. Somehow it happened since labor lessons at school 🙂 Those who are about my age 30+ still remember labor lessons 🙂
So, the recipe for charlotte with jam!
Recipe:
- Flour - 300 gr.
- Sugar - 200 gr. (for classic 270 g sugar without jam)
- Any jam - 3 full tablespoons * I have strawberries
- Eggs - 5 pcs.
- Apples - 3 large
Ingredients optional: * I have raisins and vanilla
- Citric acid - 1/2 tsp
- Raisins - a handful
- Vanilla - to taste
Small digression:
* Jam can be added to any part relative to sugar up to a glass. A glass of jam is too much for me, but 3-4 tbsp. spoons are the best option.
** In finished form, due to the charlotte jam, it turns out a little with a different crumb. Not as airy as in the classics, but still very soft. It just crumbles and crumbles less 🙂 Well, the color “walks” depending on the jam 🙂
*** A glass of sugar DOESN'T equal the weight of a glass of flour, so I write in grams.
****If you do not add sugar, you will have a very clear thick crust on top (means a lot of eggs for this amount of sugar), if pour sugar, then there will be a delicious crust breaking on top, which after a day / two, if you did not have time to eat, becomes soft) In all cases, charlotte is edible, of course 🙂
***** I have standard eggs, if you have small or large homemade eggs, the amount of flour and sugar may differ from the recipe. (well, this is in very extreme cases, if you have homemade eggs or very small ones)
Preparation:
- Grease the form with butter, pour the raisins with boiling water, cut the apples into squares / slices / triangles
- Beat eggs + sugar (+ vanilla + citric acid) so so that it rises 3 times! At this stage, we follow the kneading, if the proportions work out, then the dough rises instantly, 2-3 minutes are enough for whipping, the dough becomes like foam!
- Add flour, mix our foam with flour
- Add jam
- Beat well again
- Pour in apples and raisins, mix * In general, I always put apples on the bottom of the mold and pour the dough on top, but today I baked it for the first time in a mold with a hole and decided to mix everything before pouring it into the mold
- Oven for 170-180 gr. and bake until a beautiful crust. (30 minutes +) We pierce with a toothpick. If it's dry, the charlotte is ready!
Cool and eat! * Of course, my family guarded the charlotte already in the process of photographing, so they ate it warm 🙂

If there is neither one nor that, you can use yeast or mineral water, and some housewives even add a couple of tablespoons of beer. This will not affect the taste.
