Carrot Cake
- 300 g carrots (as measured after peeling and rinsing)
- 200 g peeled almonds
- 3 eggs
- 100 g sugar
- 50 g flour
- 50 g amaretti
- yeast
Beat the egg yolks with the sugar until creamy; add the finely minced carrots,
the crushed almonds, mix, add the crushed amaretti, the flour, the yeast and lastly fold the egg whites (previously beaten until stiff).
Put the mixture in a pan greased with butter (or use parchment paper); sprinkle with sugar and put in the hot oven (180°C = 356°F) for 30/35 minutes. It should rise and form a little crust.
It may be served with a glass of dry Marsala or Porto.
