SHARLOTKA APPLE CAKE

There are many variations of Sharlotka Apple Cake out there. It’s a basic apple cake made with simple ingredients. Some recipes only contain only 4 ingredients! This is not like my American Apple Pie, which is worth checking out, but it’s definitely a cake.

This is my wife Rita’s Sharlotka recipe, and I’m grateful she shared the recipe and baked it all for me. Apples and cinnamon are an amazing combination together, one that must not be tinkerevd with, even in the simplest of cakes. The apples aren’t coated in cinnamon and sugar like they are in a pie, but are sprinkled on top of the cake just before serving. There’s a delicate balance of not adding too many apples otherwise the cake will fall apart. Too few apples, and it’s just a glorified sponge cake.

This version of Sharlotka Apple Cake requires a bit longer cooking time due to the apple-batter ratio, but it’s still a simple, quick and delicious cake to whip up at a moment’s notice. My wife has been baking Sharlotka Apple Cake for years and it’s become a family favorite. Simple food done well, is perfection. Bon Appetit! Приятного аппетита!

Ingredients

• Butter or nonstick spray for greasing pan
• 5 large tart apples (Bramley or Granny Smith)
• 3 large eggs
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 teaspoon real vanilla extract
• cinnamon sugar to top your cake before serving

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F. Line a 9x3 round cake pan or springform pan with parchment paper. Butter or spray both the paper, and the sides of the pan. I believe butter gives a better aroma whilst baking instead of an oily chemical aroma.
2. Peel and core the apples, chop in quarters, then slice into thin bite size pieces.
3. Place the apples into the buttered cake pan.
4. Using a mixer or whisk, beat the eggs and sugar in a bowl until the sugar dissolves (around 5 minutes).
