Ingredients:
Flour for dough - 1 tbsp.
Flour for breading berries - 1 tbsp. l.
Sugar - 1 tbsp.
Eggs - 3 pcs.
Baking powder - 1 tsp l.
Black currant - 1 tbsp.
Salt - a pinch
Step by step recipe:
To make charlotte with black currants at home, take the foods listed. A measuring cup is equal to 220 ml.
The pie contains the most common products, and replacements are also possible. So, two eggs of a standard size are required, the third one can be replaced with 60 g of sour cream or melted and cooled butter of your choice. The option of 30 g sour cream + 30 g butter is also suitable instead of one egg out of three. With such a replacement, the charlotte crumb will turn out to be a little whiter / lighter and fatter.
Drive the eggs into a working bowl, add granulated sugar, a small pinch of salt to balance the sweetness and beat with a mixer at high speed for 3 minutes.
During this time, the mixture increases in volume, becomes lush and airy, and the sugar has time to partially dissolve. If whisking with a hand whisk, try hard. You need a homogeneous, lightweight mass saturated with small bubbles.
Add wheat flour mixed with a serving of baking powder. Gently knead in a circle, remove all dry areas and dense lumps. Bring it to smooth again.
Charlotte dough with black currants, apples or other fruits should be flowing, shiny and without clots.
Breaded pure berries in an additional tablespoon of flour. Easily pour it into a glass with currants, cover with your palm and shake. For a couple of such sudden movements, all the berries, from top to bottom, are evenly covered with a thin flour layer.
Pour the dough into a mold (22 cm in diameter) with parchment, spread the powdered berries evenly on top. When baking, some of them will settle, but not all will fall to the bottom and the cake will not become wet from the juice.
We bake at 180 degrees for about 40 minutes in a pre-heated oven.
After cooling, serve charlotte with black currant to the table. Sprinkle with powdered sugar.
