Charlotte with lingonberries

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Prepare the ingredients. To prepare a charlotte with lingonberries, we will need: flour, sugar, eggs (large); baking powder and lingonberries.

2. Step 2:

   

   Sort out the lingonberries, remove all the twigs, leaves, berries, wash and dry.

3. Step 3:

   

   Combine eggs and sugar in a deep bowl. If the eggs are large, then 3 eggs are enough, if small, it is better to take 4.

4. Step 4:

   

   Beat with a mixer until fluffy. Beating eggs for a very long time is not worth it. If the eggs are re-beaten, then the biscuit will not rise. The mass should lighten, but retain a yellowish tint. A completely white mass is a sign of over-beaten eggs, from which all the air has gone. In this case, the biscuit will not rise and will not be lush even with baking powder. Properly beaten eggs are like in the photo - the mass has increased 3 times, light yellow, there are a lot of bubbles on the surface.

5. Step 5:

   

   Sift flour with baking powder and add parts to the dough. I add all the flour at once, but I mix it with a mixer gradually.

7. Step 6:

   

   Mix flour with a mixer at low speed. Because if you beat on high, then we can imperceptibly beat the eggs, and the dough will turn out to be too dense and airless.

8. Step 7:

   

   Pour the cranberries into the dough and gently mix with a spatula, trying to evenly distribute the berries over the dough and at the same time not to suppress them.

9. Step 8:

   

   Put the dough in a greased baking dish (Ø 20-22 cm). Put the pie in a preheated 180 ° C oven for about 40 minutes. And let the pie stand in the cooling oven for another 10 minutes. It is better not to open the oven door for the first 35 minutes, otherwise the biscuit will fall off. A crisp, brittle crust should appear on the surface of the finished pie.

10. Step 9:

    

    Remove the finished cake from the mold and cut into pieces. Enjoy your meal!
