1 cup (250 ml) sugar
9 oz (250 g) carrots, shredded or finely chopped
in a food processor
1/4 lb (110 g) lady fingers or sliced pound cake,

1 Tbs (15 ml) Amaretto liqueur (optional)
1/4 tsp (1 ml) salt

Process the almonds and sugar in an electric blender or food processor

the shredded carrots, crumbled lady fingers, baking powder, optional
Amaretto liqueur, salt, and egg yolks. Mix to thoroughly combine.
Whip the egg whites until they form stiff peaks and fold into the
carrot mixture. Pour into a greased 10-inch (25 cm) springform pan
and bake in the top of a preheated 350F (180C) oven for 50 to 60
minutes, until a knife blade inserted in the center comes out dry.
Cool on a wire rack until lukewarm before removing from the pan.
Serve at room temperature with whipped cream if desired. Serves 6
to 8.
