Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325 F.
  • Place the carrot pieces in a pot of boiling water and boil until the carrots are soft.
    2 large carrots
  • Drain and purée the carrots with a food processor or potato masher.
  • Mix the puréed carrots with the orange zest, orange juice, and almond flour.
    Zest of 1 orange + juice of half the orange, 3 cups almond flour
  • In a separate bowl, beat the egg yolks and honey and combine them with the carrot and almond flour mixture.
    6 eggs, 6 tbsp. honey
  • In a clean bowl, whisk the egg whites vigorously until stiff peaks form.
  • With the help of a spatula, carefully fold the egg whites into the flour mixture.
  • Lightly grease a spring cake tin or 9-inch round cake pan and pour the mixture inside the tin.
  • Place in the oven to bake for about 50 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
  • Let cool for 15 minutes before opening the spring tin, so the cake doesn’t stick to it.
  • Cut into wedges and serve while still hot with some coconut milk if desired.
