Turn on the oven now, bring it to 180 degrees and bake for about 1 hour.
Past the hour pull it out of the oven, sprayed with sugar the top, then put back in the oven for another 10 minutes.
Done, remove from oven and let cool completely. Now comes the hard part! Remove the charlotte mold very, very carefully, then lined the outer sides with whipped cream, and decorated the top with a pastry bag always with whipped cream.
