Charlotte with pineapple

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   Prepare all the necessary ingredients for the charlotte. Eggs for the pie need selected, large and fresh. If the eggs are small, then take 5-6 pieces (the charlotte will only turn out more fluffy). Use premium flour.

2. STEP 2

   

   Thoroughly grease the bottom and sides of the baking dish with butter. Do not skimp on oil: the more, the better - this way the fruit will not stick to the bottom of the pan. Place pineapple rings in a single layer. You can use any shape - rectangular or round. Pineapple rings come in larger and smaller diameters. My fruits have a small diameter and they all fit neatly into a 24*18 cm mold.

3. STEP 3

   

   Cut the remaining pineapples that do not fit into the mold into small pieces. You can mix these pieces into the finished dough or sprinkle them on top of the dough.

4. STEP 4

   

   Beat the eggs with a mixer with sugar and vanilla sugar into a fluffy, airy foam. The airiness of your pie depends on how you beat the eggs. You can’t beat the mixture until it’s white and thick—the whites will lose the air bubbles that lift the dough. And in this case, even baking powder will not help. The dough will either not rise at all or rise very weakly.

5. STEP 5

   

   Add the sifted flour in parts, beating the mixture at low speed. This is again necessary so as not to overbeat and precipitate the egg mass.

6. STEP 6

   

   Pour the batter into the pan over the pineapple rings and smooth out.

7. STEP 7

   

   Sprinkle slices of chopped pineapple on top. Bake the charlotte in an oven preheated to 180°C for about 35 minutes. During this time, it is better not to open the oven, otherwise the sponge cake will settle.

8. STEP 8

   

   Cool the finished pie slightly, turn it over onto a plate so that the pineapple rings are on top, and cut into pieces. Bon appetit!

Charlotte with pineapple is something new for me. We bought canned pineapples, but only in pieces. I decided to try making a pie using this recipe. Beat eggs with granulated sugar and vanilla sugar with a mixer. Added flour and baking powder. I cut the pineapples into cubes and added them to the dough. Stirred, poured into a rectangular baking dish, shot with parchment and greased with oil. I baked the charlotte with pineapples for 40 minutes. This is simply a masterpiece! Sprinkle the cooled pie with powdered sugar. The charlotte with pineapples came out very tender and soft. Thanks to the pineapples, the pie came out quite juicy and aromatic. The whole family ate it with great pleasure. It's incredibly delicious! I advise everyone to try it! Next time I’ll make this charlotte with pineapple rings. Many thanks to the author 😊
