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.
