Recipe Details
Ingredients
200 grams of carrots, grated
2 large eggs
2-3 tablespoons of honey
1 teaspoon of baking soda
2-3 drops of wine vinegar
200 grams of ground almonds
A pinch of cinnamon powder
A pinch of salt
For the cream:
150 grams of cottage cheese, at room temperature
25 grams of cow butter, at room temperature
1 tablespoon of honey
Directions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line an 8-inch cake pan with parchment paper.
Mix the baking soda and vinegar in a small dish and set aside for a minute.
In a large bowl, combine the grated carrots, eggs, honey, the baking soda-vinegar mixture, ground almonds, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
For the cream, beat the cottage cheese, butter, and honey until smooth and creamy.
Once the cake is cool, spread the cream over the top of the cake.
This cake is a fantastic option for those watching their sugar intake, as it’s sweetened naturally with honey. The ground almonds provide a moist, dense texture that makes it hard to believe it’s flourless. It’s best served chilled, making it a refreshing dessert for warm days. Serve with a sprinkle of chopped nuts or a dash of cinnamon for an extra flavorful experience.
