Number Of Ingredients 8

6 eggs, separated
350g sugar
400g chopped hazelnuts
400g carrots
100g sifted flour
1.5 teaspoons baking powder
some vanilla extract
about one cup chocolate chips (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a Bundt-Cake pan and dust with flour, tapping out excess flour. Finely pulverize chopped hazelnuts in a food processor. Peel and grate carrots. Combine carrots and hazelnuts with flour, baking powder, vanilla extract, sugar and egg yolks. Add chocolate chips, if using. Beat egg-whites to stiff peaks and gently fold into batter.

Glaze with your favorite chocolate frosting, chocolate icing or chocolate glaze.
