recipe

Egg

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Separate the egg yolks & whites into 2 bowls.

Egg
Raw cane sugar

Step 2

In a bowl, add egg yolks & sugar. Use a hand mixer or immersion blender to whisk everything together on high speed. You can also whisk vigorously by hand for about 2-3 min!

Carrots (fresh)

Step 3

Rinse & grate the carrots.

Flour (all-purpose)
Almond flour
Cinnamon (ground)

Step 4

In a large bowl, add the creamed sugar & yolk mixture along with flour, almond flour, cinnamon & a pinch of salt. For a flavor boost, add a pinch of espresso powder OR ground ginger (optional).

Carrots (fresh)

Step 5

Fold in the grated carrots.

Step 6

Add a pinch of salt to the egg whites. Use a hand mixer or immersion blender to beat the egg whites on high speed until they form soft peaks. The consistency will turn foamy, airy & opaque! For an arm workout, this can also be done by hand : - )

Step 7

Slowly fold the egg whites into the carrot batter.

Pecans

Step 8

Add crushed or chopped pecans to the batter (optional). Mix until well-combined.

Step 9

Grease a loaf pan & pour in the batter. Bake in the oven at 350°F for 40-45 min.

Cream cheese
Powdered sugar
Orange blossom water

Step 10

Meanwhile, make the icing. In a bowl, combine cream cheese & powdered sugar. Add a splash of orange blossom water for a bright citrus flavor (optional) or zest 1/2 an orange! Whisk vigorously until smooth & creamy. Chill in the fridge until it's time to serve the cake.

Step 11

Remove the cake from the oven. Test for doneness with the toothpick trick. Stick it in the center & if it comes out clean you're all set! Allow the cake to fully cool.

Step 12

Frost the cake. Garnish with orange zest or pecans if desired. Slice, serve & enjoy!
