Sharlotka Apple Cake Recipe
Description
The Sharlotka Apple Cake begins by peeling and dicing apples into bite-sized pieces that form the fruit base. Eggs and sugar are whipped until tripled in volume, creating a light, airy batter. Folding in flour gently helps preserve the batter's fluffiness. The diced apples are spread evenly in the pan before pouring the batter atop, ensuring fruit is distributed throughout the cake.
Baking at 350°F for around 40 minutes cooks the cake through while maintaining moistness around the apples. A wooden toothpick test confirms doneness without batter sticking. Once cooled, dusting with powdered sugar adds subtle sweetness and presentation appeal. Optionally flipping the cake before dusting creates a different top texture but is not required.
This cake is ideal as a simple, fruit-forward dessert or snack, suitable for serving with tea or coffee. It emphasizes the natural apples within a lightly sweetened, soft cake crumb.
Ingredients
- 3 egg
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 4 apple large
- powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Wash, peal and dice apples into one inch pieces.
- Using a mixer, beat eggs with sugar, until it’s three times in volume.
- Using a spatula, fold in flour by thirds; be very gentle with the dough, to not overmix it and lose the fluffiness.
- Lay out the diced apples on the bottom of a 9 inch pan. Cover apples with cake batter, shake the pan a bit, to spread batter between each apple piece.
- Bake it at 350F for 40 minutes, check using a wooden toothpick. If the cake is ready, the dough should not stick to the toothpick.
- Once the cake cools off a little, dust it with some powdered sugar. (Optionally, you can flip the cake over before dusting with powdered sugar, but this isn't required.)
