How to Make The Cake Of Wisdom

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and flour a 9-inch springform pan.
  2. Clean and finely grate 2 cups of carrots.
  3. Add 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger and the zest of 1 lemon to the grated carrots.
  4. In a separate bowl, separate 4 large eggs, placing yolks in one bowl and whites in another.
  5. Cream together the egg yolks with 2 tablespoons of warm water and 1/2 cup of honey until light and fluffy.
  6. Gently fold in 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 1/2 cup of breadcrumbs, the carrot mixture, and 1/2 cup of chopped hazelnuts.
  7. In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
  8. Gently fold the egg whites into the carrot mixture until just combined.
  9. Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the cake cool in the pan for 20 minutes before removing and letting it cool completely on a wire rack. Once cooled, frost with your favorite icing.
