“Sharlotka” is a classic Russian apple cake. In some parts of the world, it's known as the French Apple cake. The best part? This cake only requires 5 ingredients and around 25 minutes of prep time!
Using a mixer, beat eggs with sugar, until it’s three times in volume.
Using a spatula, fold in flour by thirds; be very gentle with the dough, to not overmix it and lose the fluffiness.
Lay out the diced apples on the bottom of a 9 inch pan. Cover apples with cake batter, shake the pan a bit, to spread batter between each apple piece.
Bake it at 350F for 40 minutes, check using a wooden toothpick. If the cake is ready, the dough should not stick to the toothpick.
Once the cake cools off a little, dust it with some powdered sugar. (Optionally, you can flip the cake over before dusting with powdered sugar, but this isn't required.)
