Ingredients

• 300 grams Carrots (finely grated)
• 200 grams Ground almonds
• 100 grams All-purpose flour
• 200 grams Granulated sugar
• 120 grams Unsalted butter (melted)
• 4 Eggs (large)
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
• 100 grams Powdered sugar (for glaze)
• 1 tablespoon Milk (for glaze)
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
• 1 Pinch of salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F). Grease and line a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.

Step 3

Using a hand or stand mixer, beat the eggs and granulated sugar together until the mixture is pale and fluffy (approximately 3-4 minutes).

Step 4

Slowly mix in the melted butter and fresh lemon juice until well combined.

Step 5

Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture in batches, mixing just until combined.

Step 6

Fold in the finely grated carrots and ground almonds gently using a spatula. Ensure the mixture is evenly incorporated, but do not overmix.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan and smooth out the top.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

To prepare the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and lemon zest in a small bowl until smooth.

Step 11

Drizzle the glaze evenly over the cooled cake, allowing it to flow down the sides for a rustic finish.

Step 12

Let the glaze set for approximately 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
