How to Make Traditional Swiss Carrot Cake Aargauer Ruebli Torte

  1. Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and flour a 23cm (9-inch) springform pan.
  2. Grate the carrots finely.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, oil, and vanilla extract.
  5. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
  6. Fold in the grated carrots and chopped walnuts.
  7. In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
  8. Gently fold the egg whites into the carrot mixture in three additions, being careful not to deflate the egg whites.
  9. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 120 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Check for doneness around 90 minutes and tent with foil if browning too quickly.
  10. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before releasing the springform and transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. Dust with powdered sugar before serving (optional).
