Yesterday was the 3 1/2 birthday of my second daughter (we make half-birthday parties in my family - it's a long story). I made a carrot cake with what I had on hand and ended up using some coconut flakes to complete the ground almond. That was the best carrot cake I ever ate! Here is the exact recipe:
    3  egg
    120 g  sugar
    rind of 1  lemon
    120 g  almonds, grated
    30 g  unsweetened flaked coconut
    150 g  carrot
    1/2 tsp  cinnamon
    30 g  flour
      cake decoration, I use usually marzipan carrots, but didn't have any...

Cream together egg yolks, lemon rind and sugar. Peel and grate the carrots, fold in the eggs with the almonds and coconuts. Add flour and cinnamon.
Fold in the stiff egg whites. Fill the dough into a buttered spring form. Bake for 45 minutes at 190 C or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
