Ingredients

  • 4 x Large eggs , separated
  • 1/2 c. Light brown sugar ,packed
  • 1 1/2 c. Carrots ,finely grated
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 c. Granulated sugar
  • 1 c. Lightly toasted almonds finely grnd
  • 3 Tbsp. Cake meal
  • 1/2 tsp Cinnamon

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350. Grease the bottom of an 8" springform pan, dust with cake meal and shake off excess. Beat egg yolks and brown sugar till ribbons form when beaters are lifted, about 5 min. Stir in carrots and vanilla. With clean dry beaters beat whites with salt till soft peaks form. Gradually add in granulated sugar and beat till stiff but not dry. Gently fold into yolk mix. Combine almonds, cake meal and cinnamon; gently fold into batter. Turn into pan, smoothing top. Bake till cake tests done, about 1 hour. Immediately run knife around the edges. Cold completely in pan on rack. Remove springform sides before serving.
  2. Pure vanilla extract is not Kosher for Passover as it has an alcohol base. If you can find imitation vanilla which has no alcohol, or possibly Kosher L' Pesach vanilla you are in business. I would ice this with cream cheese icing. Someone has posted a way to make confectionary sugar for Passover. Regular confectionary sugar has cornstarch and so is technically off limits. Everyone needs to make their own decisions on what they will and won't use. I post this information so which no one inadvertantly uses something and serves it to someone who can't eat it.
