106: Strawberry Charlotte

So pretty, no? Charlottes are either made with sponge cake or lady fingers or more traditionally, bread. I chose to go the lady finger route because I thought it was  more aesthetically pleasing. Ah, shallow me.

This was surprisingly easy to make. I didn’t have a springform pan so I cut an OHP sheet (that’s the plastic stuff used for overhead projectors. Kids, this was what we used for class presentations before Powerpoint and laptops became the norm.) into half, taped one end to another, formed it into a circle and taped the ends again. Simple, but effective.
