This vegan sharlotka recipe is a special adaptation of my traditional Sharlotka recipe, crafted especially for my sister. After a few trials and errors, I managed to find the perfect combination of ingredients that satisfied both her vegan preferences and my desire for a delicious dessert. I’ve prepared this dessert numerous times for gatherings with both vegan and non-vegan friends and family, and it has always been met with rave reviews 🙂
Vegan Sharlotka Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup JustEgg (equivalent to 3 eggs)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 5 peeled and sliced apples
- Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.
- Prepare the Batter:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, JustEgg, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Assemble the Sharlotka:
- Arrange the sliced apples evenly on the bottom of the prepared cake pan.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Pour the batter over the sliced apples, spreading it out evenly to cover them.
- Bake the Sharlotka:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove the sharlotka from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
5. Serve:
- Once the sharlotka has cooled, dust it with powdered sugar if desired and garnish with fresh berries.
- Slice and serve the vegan sharlotka with apples as a delicious dessert or snack.
This vegan sharlotka without vegetable oil still maintains its moist and fluffy texture, thanks to the JustEgg. Enjoy the fruity goodness of the sliced apples in every bite!
