Szarlotka… Have you ever heard of this cake? (not to be confused with the Romanian charlota, meaning a dessert of my childhood, a kind of vanilla pudding, which my mother made me as a child, in the early '90s, if I remember correctly).
In Russian cuisine there is a fluffy cake with apples, but the Polish version is enhanced with vanilla pudding and the dough is tender and melts in the mouth. This special cake is super refreshing, flavorful and extremely easy to make.
⭐ Cake batter (23x35 cm tray):
350g (2 1/2 cups) plain flour
1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder
a pinch of salt
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract (or vanilla sugar)
70g (2/3 cup) powdered sugar
200g (¾ cup + 2 tablespoons) butter
1 medium egg
⭐ Vanilla pudding ingredients:
750ml (3 cups) full fat milk
1 vanilla pod
3 medium eggs
80g (3/4 cup) caster sugar
45g (6 tablespoons) cornstarch
75g (1/3 cup) butter
⭐ Apple filling ingredients:
1kg (around 2 lbs.) of green apples
3-4 tablespoons white sugar
a little bit of cinnamon (1/2 teaspoon)
⭐ powdered sugar for serving
