They are not only good but also nutritious and light, suitable for a healthy and balanced diet.

Steps

STEP 1

Wash carrots with running water, remove extremes and peel.

Then grate into julienne strips.

Put carrots in the blender with grated orange peel, orange juice and seed oil.

Blend them until you get a creamy consistency.

STEP 2

In a bowl, whisk eggs with an electric mixer together with sugar.

They must become light and fluffy (about 10 min).

Add grated carrots and mix gently with a spatula, then cake flour, baking powder, almond flour, a pinch of salt and mix again.

STEP 3

Pour the mixture into a greased and floured pan (diameter 24 cm).

Bake in the oven at 175 degrees for about 35 – 40 minutes.

When the cake is ready, let it cool before removing from the pan and sprinkle with icing sugar.

STORAGE

You can keep carrot cake for 3 days maximum.

NOTE

You could bake many small single-portion cakes instead of one.

In this case, about 20 minutes of cooking it will be enough.

To have a more delicious cake you can glaze it with chocolate frosting.

CHOCOLATE FROSTING

Melt 80 g of unsalted butter with 1 teaspoon of honey in a saucepan.

Then remove from the heat and add 140 g of dark chocolate cut into pieces.

Turn with a spoon until the chocolate is completely melted.

Place cake on top of grate to decorate.

Pour chocolate icing over the cake while it is still hot.

Before serving wait until the chocolate glaze becomes dry and solid.
