Ingredient List:

Here’s what you’ll need for this delicious, healthy carrot cake:

300 g ground almonds or hazelnuts
300 g finely grated carrots
60 g sugar-free vanilla powder
2 organic lemons (juice and zest)
6 eggs
80 g Erythritol Gold (or your preferred sweetener)
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1 pinch of salt
½ packet of baking powder
400 g mascarpone
200 g quark (20%) or Greek yogurt
100 g powdered erythritol
10 g YallaYum Freeze-Dried Strawberries (to add a natural pink hue and strawberry flavor to the frosting)
Decoration: YallaYum Freeze-Dried Strawberries for topping

Preparation Instructions:

Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 175°C (top/bottom heat).

Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the ground almonds or hazelnuts, vanilla powder, cinnamon, and baking powder.

Step 3: Separate and Beat the Eggs
Separate the eggs into yolks and whites. In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form, and set aside. In another bowl, beat the egg yolks with the Erythritol Gold until creamy.

Step 4: Combine the Ingredients
Add the dry ingredients to the egg yolk mixture and stir well. Mix in the grated carrots, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the batter until fully combined and smooth.

Step 5: Bake the Cake Layers
Line a 20 cm springform pan with baking paper. Pour half of the batter into the pan and bake for about 40 minutes. Remove from the oven, carefully cool, and repeat the process for the second layer using the remaining batter. Let both layers cool completely before assembly.

Step 6: Prepare the Frosting
In a mixing bowl, combine the mascarpone, quark, powdered erythritol, and (if desired) 10 g of crushed YallaYum Freeze-Dried Strawberries. Beat with a hand mixer until smooth and creamy.

Step 7: Assemble the Cake
Place one cake layer on a flat plate and spread a generous layer of frosting on top. Add the second cake layer and cover the entire cake with the remaining frosting using a spatula. Place the cake in the fridge for at least 2 hours to set.

Step 8: Decorate with YallaYum Freeze-Dried Strawberries
Before serving, decorate the top of the cake with whole or crushed YallaYum Freeze-Dried Strawberries for a burst of color and natural flavor.
