Recipe instructions

Step 1

How to make a fluffy charlotte with cherries? Very simple, no more difficult than with apples. To begin, prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list. Take the highest grade flour, select large eggs. You can replace vanilla sugar with a pinch of vanillin.

Step 2
