Best 5 Sharlotka Recipes

SHARLOTKA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an oversized, deep, glass pie dish and spread apples inside.
• Combine eggs and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the wire whisk attachment. Mix on the highest setting until eggs are foamy and change in color, 5 to 7 minutes. The goal is to achieve a consistency something close to meringue.
• Turn stand mixer off and switch the attachment to the standard mixing paddle. With the machine on its lowest setting, add flour, sour cream, salt, baking powder, and vanilla extract. Mix until just incorporated. Batter should be thick, fluffy, and airy. Do not overmix, as it will deflate the batter. Pour batter over apples in the pie dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the top turns golden brown and a knife comes out clean, about 40 minutes. Let cool just until it is safe to handle the pan; loosen edges and flip the cake onto a serving platter.

APPLE SHARLOTKA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Line the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper.
• Butter the paper and the sides of the pan.
• Peel, halve and core your apples, then chop them into medium-sized chunks. (Cut each half into four "strips" then slice them fairly thinly - about 1/4-inch - in the other direction.) Pile the cut apples directly in the prepared pan.
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, using an electric mixer or whisk, beat eggs with sugar until thick and ribbons form on the surface of the beaten eggs.
• Beat in vanilla, then stir in flour with a spoon until just combined. Batter will be very thick.
• Spread the batter and press it down with spoon or spatula into the apple pile. The top of the batter should end up level with the top of the apples. Bake in preheated oven for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a tester comes out free of batter.
• Cool in pan for 10 minutes on rack, then flip out onto another rack, peel off the parchment paper, and flip it back onto a serving platter. Dust lightly with ground cinnamon.
• Serve warm or cooled, dusted with powdered sugar. Serve with barely sweetened whipped or sour cream.

Beat in vanilla, then stir in flour with a spoon until just combined. The batter will be very thick. Pour over apples in pan, using a spoon or spatula to spread the batter so that it covers all exposed apples. Bake in preheated oven for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a tester comes out free of batter. Cool in pan for 10 minutes on rack, then flip out onto another rack, peel off the parchment paper, and flip it back onto a serving platter. Dust lightly with ground cinnamon. Serve warm or cooled, dusted with powdered sugar. Alex's family eats it plain, but imagine it would be delicious with a dollop of barely sweetened whipped or sour cream.

RUSSIAN APPLE PIE/CAKE (SHARLOTKA) RECIPE - (4.3/5)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 10 inch round cake pan. Line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper. You can also use a baking spray instead of the butter/oil and flour. Spray the top of the parchment paper also. Whisk the eggs and sugar together until they are pale yellow and foamy. Add the sour cream to the batter. Dissolve the baking soda in vinegar and add to the batter also. Mix to combine. Add the flour to the batter and mix just until the flour is incorporated. Meanwhile, peel the apples and cut into small, thin pieces. Add the apples to the prepared cake pan. Pour the batter over the apples and distribute evenly over the top. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 45-50 minutes, until the sharlotka is golden, or when a toothpick comes out clean from the center of the cake. Run an offset spatula or butter knife around the edges of the cake pan. Flip the cake over onto a cooling rack. The parchment paper will peel right off. Flip the cake over right side up. Allow it to cool for about 15 minutes. Place the sharlotka onto a serving platter. Dust with confectioner's sugar. You can also sprinkle it with a bit of cinnamon if you like.
