Thanks for the recipe. It is great Sharlotka. I haven’t had enough apples, so I used a peach instead turned out real good. I remember my mom making this kind of pie with pitted cherries instead of apples. It is gorgeous!

Salam!

I made this cake yesterday! Mmmmm… thanks for the recipe. It reminded me the time when I was buying this cake at “Bon Appetit” culinary shop on my way home after school…

I also added 2 ingredients: crunchy cookies based on cacao and almonds since I didn’t have bread crumbs (Ritornelli Mulino Bianco by Barilla - I think, you can find this brand only in Italy) and some red currants that “diversified” the flavor.

Thanks again!

I am from Kazakhstan and I make this same exact thing ALL the time along with some of your other recipes like rolled eggplants, stuffed cabbage leaves, mimosa, napoleon. I love some of your other recipes that I havent heard of like the pomegranite salad and zebra cake. You pics are also beautiful! My mom used to make sharlotka all the time growing up

Yum! This cake is a favorite both in my family and in my husband’s family and it was his requested birthday cake this year. I follow a similar recipe except I don’t peel the apples (I find that the peel becomes soft enough during baking) and I use three eggs, not four. I also mix the apples into the batter rather than putting them in the pan and pouring the batter over them. Thanks for posting it, and I look forward to reading more of your recipes! I am so glad I found your blog.

Farida, I tried your recipe that you submitted for the Russian Sharlotka and was very satisfied and so was the whole family! Thank you for such a delicious yet simple recipe. I will definitely be making it more! I’m glad that I found your blog. It’s one of the best I’ve seen so far, and I have been to many!

Just a quick note, to let you know I made this cake over the weekend. And it was nothing short of wonderful!

The batter was very light and spongy. I’m thinking this would also be great if I substituted berries for the apples, come summer.
Thanks Fari!
