Classic and original recipes for charlotte with berries. Charlotte with frozen berries on kefir Is it possible to bake charlotte with frozen berries

Tender, aromatic and very tasty homemade cakes - charlotte with berries. This is a pie based on sponge dough that can be prepared in a conventional oven and in a slow cooker. Classic charlotte is baked with apples. The “results of experiments” with blueberries, lingonberries, cranberries, and grapes are no less tasty.

Recipe 1. Using classic dough, with garden berries

This step-by-step recipe for this charlotte is perfect for cooking in the oven and slow cooker. Cooking time is 80 minutes, the ingredients are designed for 8 servings, 100 grams contain 226 kcal, the whole charlotte contains 1693 kcal.

Ingredients:

• 300 g of berries (100 g each of raspberries, black and red currants);
• 5 eggs;
• 180 g (partial glass, in one glass - 220 g) sugar;
• 140 g (1 cup) flour;
• vanillin.

Advice! You can replace garden berries with forest berries.

Step by step recipe:

1. Break the eggs into a bowl, add sugar and vanillin, beat with a mixer until the sugar grains are completely dissolved. The mass should turn into a white foam with a creamy tint. The whipping time depends on the power of the mixer - the higher it is, the faster the foam will appear.
2. Add sifted flour to the whipped mixture. This should be done in parts, while simultaneously stirring the mass with a spoon from bottom to top. You need to stir in one direction and not for very long, otherwise the sponge cake will not turn out fluffy. If the dough is prepared correctly, it will flow off the spatula in a wide ribbon.
3. Wash the berries and dry them, roll in flour.
4. Grease a baking dish with oil. If you use butter, be sure to sprinkle flour on top and only then lay out the dough.
5. Place the berries and dough in the mold alternately, or you can simply mix everything in a bowl and only then put it out.
6. Preheat the oven, place the pan with the dough there and bake the pie for 45-50 minutes at 180°C.
7. You can cook charlotte in a slow cooker. Pour the dough into the bowl and turn on the “Bake” mode for 60 minutes. Cooking time may vary depending on the power of the multicooker.
8. Check the readiness of the pie with a wooden toothpick, skewer or match - it should come out dry from the dough. You can’t over-dry the charlotte either; it should be tender and juicy.
9. Leave the cake in the pan or bowl for 10 minutes and then remove. From a multicooker - using a steam pan.
10. Cool and cut into pieces.

Advice! The better the eggs and sugar are beaten, the more fluffy and tender the finished dish will taste. For the same reason, be sure to sift the flour. You can add 1 teaspoon of baking powder to the flour for the same purpose.

Recipe 2. With kefir

Charlotte with kefir according to this recipe turns out light and sour. You can take any berries, the same variety or completely different ones.

Advice! Currants and apples go well together in charlotte. It is not recommended to mix cherries with anything else, as they have a rich taste and will overpower all others.

Charlotte with frozen berries will turn out no less tasty than with fresh ones.

Ingredients:

• half a liter jar of berries;
• 180 g of kefir (you can take homemade yogurt or cream);
• three quarters of a glass of sugar;
• 1 egg;
• 1 tbsp. mayonnaise (optional);
• half a teaspoon of soda;
• vegetable oil (for greasing the mold);
• one and a half cups of flour.

Advice! If apples are used for the filling, their taste will be emphasized and complemented by cinnamon. You can add it to the dough, sprinkle it on the apples before baking or after the pie is removed from the oven.

Step by step recipe:

1. Turn on the oven and place the dish in which you will bake the charlotte. The dough must be poured into a hot pan.
2. Mix kefir with egg, mayonnaise (optional) and soda.
3. Add the sifted flour in small portions, while stirring at the same time. You can add cinnamon or vanilla. The dough should be quite liquid.
4. If you add apples, peel them, remove the core and cut them into cubes. Currant berries can be added whole; gooseberries and cherries must be cut due to their large size.
5. Remove the pan from the oven, grease it with vegetable oil and pour the dough with berries into it.
6. Place the pie in the oven and bake at 180-190° C for about 20 minutes. After 15 minutes, open the oven and use a toothpick to check the readiness of the charlotte: if after piercing the dough does not stick to it, the sponge cake is baked.
7. Sprinkle the finished charlotte with powdered sugar or brush it with glaze, as in the photo.

Preparing the glaze:

1. Take half a glass of powdered sugar and add one and a half tablespoons of water to it.
2. Stirring constantly, heat the future glaze to 40° C (if you touch the mixture with your finger, it should be quite hot, but tolerable).
3. Brush the charlotte with glaze.

Recipe 3. Strawberry-curd charlotte without baking

8. Squeeze the juice out of half a lemon, grate the zest and add everything to the mixture.

10. Cut the strawberries left for decoration lengthwise and place them in the shape of a flower on the bottom of the mold. Place the curd mixture on top and level its surface.
11. Place in the refrigerator for 40 minutes.
12. After the time has passed, take it out, spread the remaining cookies on the surface of the mixture and place them in the refrigerator again (for 6 hours).
13. After six hours, remove the treat from the mold and decorate with whipped cream and powdered sugar using a pastry bag.

Advice! The pastry bag can be replaced with an ordinary plastic bag with a hole cut in the corner.

Strawberry-curd charlotte is served with a milk or fruit cocktail, tea, or milk.

Once upon a time, the word “charlotte” for me meant a bread pie with a very, very apple filling. Now I, like many others, call any sponge cake with a filling: apple, nut, peach, apricot... berry.
Any of these “charlottes” cooks faster than any other homemade baked goods. It is difficult to spoil it and there is no shame in putting it even on the holiday table.

Biscuit recipe with berries:

How to bake:

Photo 1.

Divide the cooled eggs into whites and yolks. In order for the whites to whip without problems, they must be placed in a dry bowl and ensure that no pieces of yolk get in. Chilled egg whites whip better.

Photo 2.

But the yolks with sugar will whip into a thick foam faster if the container is placed in a water bath.

Photo 3.

Mix half the whites, the yolks beaten with sugar and the sifted flour. Mix very carefully with a spoon, add half of the remaining whipped whites and mix even more carefully until a more or less homogeneous mass. Place in a warm baking dish, grease the bottom with vegetable oil if necessary.

Making charlotte with frozen berries is a little more difficult than baking the same sponge cake with fresh berries. If the berry is fresh, without any preliminary preparation, you can simply lay it on a layer of prepared biscuit dough. You can deal with frozen berries (in this case blackcurrants) in two ways. First, remove from the freezer, defrost, drain the juice, and place on the dough.

Photo 5.

Or spread in a thin layer while still frozen. In this case, it is better to put less and not to delay baking. In both cases, the biscuit will turn out more “juicy”. Not all currants will retain their original shape. But this will not affect the taste of charlotte in any way.
You can add either finely chopped nuts, a pinch of nutmeg, or (as in the photo) a little cinnamon to the berries.

Beat the remaining whites with a couple of tablespoons of vanilla powdered sugar.

We all love pies and cakes. Sweet and not so sweet, with choux pastry, puff pastry and shortbread, yeast and yeast-free, quick to prepare and those whose recipes take days, with fruit, meat, chocolate, fish. But always so different and so loved.

Charlotte: concept and origin

Initially, charlotte is a dessert pie made with baked apples. The main ingredient in charlotte is always apples. In the classic version, charlotte includes dough similar to bread, custard, a little liqueur and fruit (mainly apples). Why did charlotte become one of the most famous and beloved pies? The answer is obvious - due to the ease of preparation and the relative cheapness of the product. And, of course, thanks to its delicate and pleasant taste. Over the years of the recipe’s existence, it has spread not only throughout Europe, but has also become loved in all corners of the planet.

France is considered to be the birthplace of charlotte, however, the traditional recipe with apples was invented in Great Britain. Cooks still cannot agree on the origin of the name. According to one version, charlotte got its name in honor of the lover of a pastry chef who was hopelessly in love with a girl named Charlotte. Another version says that the pie was dedicated by the court cook to the wife of the monarch George III, Charlotte. Who was a famous lover of apple orchards and apples. She especially loved sour varieties, as well as ranet apples.

An interesting fact is that all over the world charlotte is usually called Charlotte Russe (English) and Charlotte a la russe (French), that is, Russian charlotte.

Varieties of charlotte

It is customary to say about charlotte: “how many housewives - so many charlotte recipes.” Indeed, it is simply impossible to count all the recipes! The truth is that charlotte can be made from an old roll, or it can be in the form of a cake. It depends entirely on the hostess and the occasion. There are as many additives to charlotte as there are charlottes themselves.

The most delicious and interesting varieties of charlotte: with honey and spices (such as cinnamon), charlotte with butter, chocolate-banana, diet and vegetarian (without butter and eggs), charlotte with a sugar crust, pineapple and charlotte with raisins, charlotte with adding pears, walnuts and plums. The list of varieties of charlotte can be endless.

The taste of charlotte depends not only on the ingredients, but also on the method of its preparation, for example, charlotte can be baked in the oven, fried, cooked in the microwave, pressure cooker and slow cooker.

Cooking features

An ideal charlotte should be fluffy and not wet. And the main thing here is not to overdo it with the amount of fruit. It is always worth remembering that during the baking process, any fruit will release juice abundantly and the dough may simply not bake well due to the excess moisture released by the fruit.

And if the charlotte does not turn out fluffy, then you can add baking powder, slaked soda (soda is slaked with vinegar), or kefir. They fill the dough with bubbles and it will turn out fluffier. You can also try putting fruit at the bottom of the pie rather than on top.

To serve, choose powdered sugar, fresh mint petals or almond leaves. You can use a mix of currants and raspberries or just one type of berries. Margarine is also suitable for greasing the pan.

Cooking method

Preliminary preparation of products

• The berries should be crumbly, which means they need to be taken out of the freezer and left for some time so that they slightly (but by no means completely) defrost and thaw.
• We pre-wash the apples. We cut each fruit into medium slices, for example, into quarters. Trim each quarter, removing the skin and seeds. Grind each quarter into not too dense slices.
• If they were in the refrigerator, take the eggs out so they warm up a little.

To prevent them from darkening while we are busy preparing the dough, sprinkle them with a small amount of lemon juice.

Preparing the dough for charlotte

• In a deep bowl, beat chicken eggs warmed to room temperature with a mixer.
• When foam forms, add sugar to the eggs and continue beating the mixture at low speed. It should become lush and increase in volume.
• Pour salt and vanilla sugar into the egg mixture and mix everything again.
• Pour the sifted flour into the dough base in portions, mixing the entire mixture thoroughly each time.

Finishing the preparation

• When we have used all the flour, we will prepare the mold. It is enough to lubricate it with butter or vegetable oil. Alternatively, you can use parchment paper.
• Preheat the oven to 180°C.
• Place the apples in the first layer and then the berries.
• Fill everything with dough.
• Place the mold with the dough, berries and apples in a preheated oven.
• Cook the charlotte for about 40 minutes. Check the readiness of the dish by piercing the middle of the pie with a toothpick. It should remain clean, without traces of dough. If necessary, cook the charlotte longer.
• Take the pie out of the oven, leave it for 15 minutes at room temperature, after which you can turn the charlotte over, placing it on a large plate upside down.

Decorate the finished dish with powdered sugar or fresh mint. Alternatively, use almond flakes. This pie is perfect to serve with hot drinks.

Delicious charlotte with chocolate and berries

Royal charlotte with berries and chocolate can become the centerpiece of a sweet table, a dish that can surprise even the pickiest gourmets.

Ingredients

• Fresh raspberries - a handful (about 150 grams);
• Baking powder for dough – 1 tsp;
• Black currant – 100 g;
• Flour – ¾ cup;
• Cocoa powder – 2 tbsp;

• Chicken egg – 4 pcs.;
• Sugar – 1 tbsp;
• Vanillin – 1 g;
• Chocolate paste or sauce - for decoration;
• Oil for greasing the baking dish.

Cooking method

• We will first remove the eggs from the refrigerator and leave them to warm up to room temperature, which will allow us to achieve the desired consistency of the dough, due to which the pie itself will be more airy and fluffy in texture.
• Place the berries in one layer on a cutting board, sprinkle with a small amount of flour. This step is mandatory, since raspberries and currants that are not rolled in flour will release a lot of juice, and the cake will turn out to be overly moist.

Preparing the dough for charlotte

• Drive the heated chicken eggs into a deep container and beat them using a whisk or mixer. It’s easier to beat this ingredient with the last device; in addition, a fluffy foam will appear faster.
• Add sugar little by little to the eggs and continue beating the mixture. The sugar should dissolve to the last grain.
• The finished mix will increase in volume several times. This is exactly the effect we need to achieve.
• Pour the flour into a bowl, adding it little by little, kneading the dough thoroughly each time.
• Add vanilla, baking powder, and cocoa powder here, mix all ingredients thoroughly.
• It is advisable to stir the mixture constantly in one direction, using a spoon, so that the volume of the eggs does not decrease, and the dough will ultimately turn out more fluffy.

Let's prepare the oven and pan

Carefully grease the baking dish using oil. You can use butter or sunflower oil (without a strong smell) or margarine. We grease not only the bottom, but also the sides to which the pie may stick.

Preheat the oven to 180°C.

Finishing the preparation

• Pour some berries into the mold, spreading them evenly along the bottom.
• Pour half of the batter over the berries.
• Sprinkle the rest of the raspberries and currants on top of the dough.
• Fill everything with the remaining dough.
• Place the charlotte in the oven and cook the pie for about 50 minutes.
• Leave the finished dish to cool directly in the pan at room temperature.
• Take out the cooled charlotte, placing it on a plate upside down. It will be more convenient to do this if you initially line the baking pan with parchment paper.

Decorate the finished dish with chocolate paste or sauce, which must be evenly distributed over the surface of the pie. Alternatively, you can serve the charlotte by sprinkling it with powdered sugar.

• Add sifted flour little by little. Thanks to the sifted flour, the charlotte dough with cottage cheese and berries will be more airy. After each addition of flour, mix the dough thoroughly.
• Pour semolina into the dough and mix everything again.
• Leave the dough and let the semolina swell. It is enough to wait about 15 minutes.
• Let's get back to the cherries. We will get rid of the juice secreted by the berries. It can then be used to prepare compote, but you should not pour it into the dough so that the charlotte is not too wet.
• Add cherries to the dough.

Let's prepare the mold and oven

• Turn on the oven and set the temperature to 180°C.
• Let's prepare a baking dish, which needs to be carefully greased with sunflower oil or butter, paying attention not only to the bottom, but also to the sides.

Finishing the preparation

• Pour the dough into the baking dish.
• Place the charlotte in the oven, in which it will cook for about 45 minutes. You need to focus on the crust, which should be golden brown, as well as the consistency of the pie in the center (you can pierce it with a toothpick to check the pie for doneness).

Important! If you are using frozen pitted berries, you can try an alternative recipe for the pie. Prepare the dough as described above, and simply add the cherries on top (on top of the dough poured into the mold).

Charlotte with cottage cheese and berries is served with hot drinks, decorated with several berries and powdered sugar.
