Charlotte Cake Made Easy

I thought I would share  this wonderful cake pan from Nordic Ware.  It is called the Charlotte Cake pan.  For anyone who wants to make a beautiful Charlotte cake, this pan makes it so easy. I bought mine on Amazon.
Replicates the beauty of the famous French dessert that's traditionally been constructed, painstakingly, with individual Ladyfingers biscuits and custard. So easy & so delicious! 6-cup capacity.


If you want to impress your family or friends, then this cake pan will do the job!
 
 
  
  •  
  • Recipe
  • 4 eggs, room temperature
  •  2/3 cup sugar
  •  2/3 cup flour
  •  1/2 tsp baking powder
  •  syrup and topping:
  •  8 oz. frozen cherries
  •  1/2 cup sugar
  •  1/2 cup whipping cream
  •  fruit for topping
Directions

    Preheat oven at 350° F. Prepare pan with baking spray. In the bowl of an electric mixer with the whisk attachment, beat the eggs on high for one minute. Then, gradually add sugar and continue beating for 6-8 minutes or until light and fluffy. In separate bowl, combine flour and baking powder. Sift half of flour into beaten eggs and fold in. Sift in second half and fold in completely. Pour into prepared pan and bake for 20-25 minutes or until toothpick comes clean. Cool cake in pan for 10 minutes and invert onto a cooling rack.

    While cake is baking, prepare syrup. In a small saucepan on medium- high heat, combine cherries with juice and sugar. Boil for 2-3 minutes stirring constantly and set aside. Drain out fruit and discard pulp. Refrigerate syrup to cool completely.

    When ready to serve, fit electric mixer with whisk and pour whipping cream in bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of completely cooled cherry syrup. Mix on high until soft peaks form, approximately 1-2 minutes. Pour the remaining cherry syrup into center of Charlotte Cake and top with flavored whipped cream and fruit.

I made this Charlotte cake for my Patriotic table here.
4th of July cake

For my 4th of July cake, I topped it with Buttercream frosting and then added fresh strawberries and blueberries.  I sprinkled sugar on the fruit.
Enjoy!

  13. Now this knocks my socks off. It's really gorgeous and it looks so moist and delicious. I don't make a lot of cakes but I should do more and I think the secret to doing more might be a pan like this. It's instantly beautiful (no matter the recipe!) But then to do the cherry Charlotte and the gorgeous decoration would make it such a treat. Thanks for this. I'm going to check out that pan!
