To make the English carrot cake, start preparing the carrots:

and grate them finely

you will have to get 330 g. Then pour the brown sugar into the mixer bowl with a whisk

also, add the eggs

and operate the machine, for at least 10 minutes, until you have obtained a foamy mixture

Always with the whips in action, also add the oil flush

Then stop the mixer, add the sifted flour directly into the bowl

and mix gently with a hand whisk

without dismantling the compound. Then add the baking soda

the yeast

the cinnamon powder

and stir gently to mix the powders.

Also, pour the carrots and add them to the dough

Transfer the mixture into a 28 cm cake tin, previously lined with parchment paper, and bake in a preheated static oven at 180 ° for 50 minutes. Then cover the cake with silver paper and bake for another 15 minutes, in this way the surface of the cake will not darken excessively (if you use the fan oven, cook at 160 ° for 45 minutes). After the cooking time, take out your carrot cake. and let it cool.

Only when the cake has completely cooled do you make the icing. Start whipping the egg whites.

(with the yolks leftover you could prepare a delicious custard ) and add the icing sugar little by little, until obtaining a smooth glaze without lumps.

Turn out the carrot cake and transfer it to a serving dish. Then with the help of a spoon, place the icing on the cake, and using a spatula. cover the entire surface by leveling well.

While the glaze is drying, take care of making the carrots in sugar paste. Divide the marzipan into 2 parts. one 50 g and one 20 g. Take the larger part and color it by adding a drop of yellow and one red.

By kneading with your hands (to avoid getting dirty, use gloves) you will get a nice bright orange color.

Take the smallest part of marzipan and color it by adding 1 drop of green dye. and working it with your hands, until a uniform color is obtained. At this point form the carrots using 5 grams of orange marzipan for each piece. Helping you with your fingers given each part of marzipan a tapered shape similar to that of carrots.

Then divide the green part into pieces of about 2 g and modeling them with your fingers you will have to get the tuft of carrots. So join the 2 parts, carrot and tuft and using a small knife, divide the green part into 3 small tufts. Once all the carrots are finished, use them to decorate your carrot cake.
