Summer is a great time. Everything blooms and smells. People try to add bright colors to their clothes. And I even want to diversify my diet with summer dishes.
Summer ration
Summer is a time of vegetable salads, fruits and ice cream. But where without homemade baking with fresh berries? You can indulge yourself with healthy desserts, freshly squeezed juices, a variety of smoothies every day, and what a huge selection of pies!
Charlotte with blackcurrant, redcurrant, apple pie , pears and apricots - you can continue this list for a long time. But what to do in the winter? How to make a pie that will smell like fresh berries? After all, jam will not give such a rich taste and aroma.
To pamper yourself with such pastries in the winter, you need to prepare some frozen berries or grated with sugar. Then at any time of the year the pastries will be fragrant and with a rich taste of berries. Since many housewives now use multicookers for baking, we will consider the winter version of charlotte with blackcurrant in the oven, as well as in a multicooker.
Charlotte in the oven
The recipe for blackcurrant charlotte is very simple. To bake a small pie, you need 5 eggs, 200 g of sugar, 400 g of flour, 2 cups of frozen berries, or you can take 1.5 cups of grated berries with sugar, but then you need 100 g of sugar.
Beat the eggs in a thick foam with a blender, gradually adding sugar. Pour the sifted flour into the finished mixture and gently place the berries. Next, we select a cake mold, grease it with oil and pour the finished dough into the mold. We heat the oven to 180 ° C. We send the pie into it for half an hour. In the first 20 minutes, do not open the oven so that the pastries do not settle. After that, we check whether it is ready, since the time for cooking charlotte with black currant can vary depending on the baking dish, the power of the oven.
If the cake is thin, it is advisable to reduce the temperature. If baking is prepared in a thick-walled container, then this figure should be increased. Baked pie can be greased with jam, sprinkled with icing sugar or garnished with whole currant berries. The total time for cooking charlotte with black currant is about 50 minutes. Calorie content is 268 kcal per 100 g of the finished product.
Charlotte in a slow cooker
A recipe for charlotte with blackcurrant in a slow cooker is practically no different from a recipe for an oven. We take the same set of products: eggs, sugar, flour, currant berries. Add only baking powder.
Cook the dough in the same sequence. At the end, pour a bag of baking powder so that the mixture is more airy and the cake is high. Pour the dough into a container for a multicooker, pre-oiled, and set to bake for 1 hour. We also periodically check the readiness of the cake, but not earlier than in half an hour. When the baking is ready, take it out and turn it over.
Next, decorate the finished cake with fresh berries, powdered sugar, etc. The time for making charlotte in a slow cooker is a little more than an hour, and the calorie content does not differ from that for the cake from the oven.
Taking this recipe for the test as a basis, you can change the filling, cook all kinds of goodies, both with fresh berry and jam.
