The pie, familiar to everyone, is prepared with apple filling, but using the same method you can prepare charlotte with cherries. Its components are extremely simple and accessible to everyone:

• two glasses of cherries;

You need a mixer to knead the dough. Without it, cooking will take longer and require physical effort. The whole process is divided into several main stages:

1. Rinse and sort the cherries. Free it from the bones. Place the berries in a colander and let the excess juice drain. Otherwise, the cake will be too runny.
2. Beat eggs with sugar. In this case, it is not necessary to separate the whites from the yolks. Begin beating at a low speed and gradually increase to maximum. The egg foam will be ready in a couple of minutes.
3. Into the prepared foam, add baking powder or quenched soda. Sift the flour and, stirring constantly, add a little to the egg mixture. In this case, the spoon must constantly move from top to bottom. This will help oxygenate the dough, making it fluffy.
4. Line a baking dish with parchment. Spread the cherries over the bottom. Pour the cooked dough on top so that all the berries are completely covered. Smooth with a spoon. Send the cake to the oven. Baking time at 200 degrees is about 40 minutes.

Use special tools to remove pits from cherries faster. If not, just squeeze out the bones with a wooden skewer.
