Instruction manual
1
Three carrots on a fine grater, add a little sour cream or cream to it, mix and let stand for 10 minutes.
2
Grind hazelnuts in a blender until crumbs.
3
In a deep bowl, mix warm butter with brown sugar, add the yolks and mix. Add flour with baking powder, knead thoroughly. Pour 2 tbsp. tablespoons of cream and mix again.
4
Add carrot and nuts to the dough, another 2 tbsp. tablespoons cream, 1 tbsp. Amaretto spoon, spices and mix again until smooth.
5
Beat 2 proteins with a pinch of salt until strong peaks.
6
Gently introduce the proteins into the carrot dough: first half the proteins to lighten the dough, then the remaining half. We do not interfere for a long time so that the protein bubbles do not burst.
7
We spread the dough into a mold greased with butter and sprinkled with flour. In the middle of the dough we make a small depression so that when rising in the oven, the dough does not grow uphill, but aligns with the general level of the cake.
8
We bake the pie in the oven preheated to 180 degrees until cooked (I had a mold of 26 cm, so the cake was baked for 40 minutes; if the mold is smaller in diameter and higher in height, then it takes longer).
9
The cooled cake is covered with honey glaze. For the glaze, melt the honey with butter, wait until the bubbling mixture obscures for a couple of minutes and pour it onto the pie at once. We quickly smooth the glaze - it quickly hardens, and therefore in a minute it is difficult to smooth it out evenly on the cake. On top of the glaze, a little rash of sesame seeds.
