Aargauer Rüeblitorte (Aargau Carrot Cake)

Cake:

3 egg yolks
185g granulated sugar

185g carrots, peeled and finely grated
185g almond flour
1 Tablespoon orange juice
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon orange zest
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt

3 egg whites

Glaze:


120g confectioners’ sugar
2 Tablespoons orange juice

Preheat the oven:
Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F).

Prepare the cake pan:
Grease an 8-inch (20cm) springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper. This cake tends to stick, so I would recommend a non-stick springform pan if you have one.

Whip the egg yolks:
In the bowl of a stand mixer with the whisk attachment, or in a large bowl using a hand mixer, whip the egg yolks with half the sugar. The yolks will be pale yellow and should be thick and fall in a ribbon pattern when the whisk is lifted out.

Fold in the remaining ingredients except for the sugar and egg whites:
Gently fold in the carrots, orange juice, vanilla extract, lemon zest, baking powder and salt. It will seem like the mixture is too dry, but once you add the beaten egg whites, it will resemble a cake batter.

Whip the egg whites:
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, or in a large bowl using a hand mixer, whip the egg whites to soft peaks while gradually adding the remaining sugar.

Combine the cake batter:
Carefully fold the beaten egg whites into the carrot mixture until just combined.

Bake:
Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan and bake at 175°C (350°F) for 30-35 minutes.

Let the cake cool for 10 to 15 minutes. Then, run a knife around the perimeter of the cake, release the spring and remove the cake to a wire cooling rack. Let the cake cool completely before glazing.

Make the glaze:
Sift the confectioners’ sugar into a medium bowl. Pour in the orange juice and whisk to combine.

Glaze the cake:
Pour the glaze over the top of the cake and spread evenly.

Decorate the cake however you like: with toasted almond slices, candied citrus zest, marzipan carrots, candied carrot curls, or skip the glaze and serve it with a dusting of confectioners’ sugar.
