Recipe: Charlotte Cake

Today I'll explain how to make a Charlotte Cake.

Ingredients:
250 grams of margarine
8 tablespoons of sugar
7 larger eggs
250 grams of cooking chocolate
2 vanilla cream
2 packs of lady's fingers
aluminum foil

Preparation:
Put slightly melted margarine and 7 tablespoons of sugar into a mixing bowl. Whisk it well with a mixer.
Melt cooking chocolate with 1 teaspoon of cooking oil and add it to margarine mixture. Whisk again with mixer.
Add one egg at the time and whisk with mixer at highest speed. Eggs should be cold before using.
In a separate bowl, make 1 vanilla cream. There is usually a recipe for that on the vanilla cream packaging. Add it to the mix and slowly stir with a spoon.
Cover the bottom and the sides of deeper pot with aluminum foil.
Melt one tablespoon of sugar with a glass of water (200 grams) in smaller pot.
Quickly dip lady's fingers in sugar water. You must quickly take out lady's fingers to prevent from breaking them. Make a mold out of lady's fingers by arranging them along the sides and the bottom of the pot.
Pour prepared cream and cover the top with what's left of lady's fingers.
Put prepared cake into the freezer for 24 hours.
Decorate with whipped cream before serving.

Bon apetit!
