Carrot cake

For a 12-slice Zila cake mould

  • 4 eggs
  • 400 g sugar
  • 450 g carrot
  • 250 g flour
  • 70 g walnut
  • 2 g salt
  • 6 g baking powder
  • 4 g cinnamon
  • 60 g oil

Filling: apricot jam

Preparation

Whip the eggs with sugar. Put the grated carrot and oil in a bowl (large enough for mixing the mousse) and mix. Add and mix the dry ingredients in another bowl.

Add the egg whip to the carrot, gently stir, and gradually add the dry ingredients. Stir until even. Be careful, it should not be clotty!

Pour the mousse into a (sprayed) Zila cake mould, and bake it in a preheated oven at 170 °C for 70-75 minutes.

When it is ready, turn the cake upside down, place it on a paper iced with sugar and remove the silicon mould; otherwise the sponge cake would stick in the mould due to the steam emitted.
