A Charlotte cake is a classic dessert made with ladyfingers or sponge cake that is lined around the edges of a mold or cake tin, then filled with a fruit-flavored mousse or custard. Once the filling is set, the cake is unmolded and typically served cold. The ladyfingers or sponge cake create a sort of “wall” around the filling. It’s often garnished with whipped cream, fresh fruit, or a fruit coulis. The origin of the dessert is French, and it has been popular in various forms since the 18th century.
