Directions

1
Grease a fat pan (deep baking tray; approx. 32 x 39 cm) and dust with flour. Peel and grate carrots and mix with 2 tbsp. lemon juice. Preheat the oven (electric cooker: 175°C/circulating air: 150°C/gas: level 2).
2
Whisk butter, sugar, vanillin sugar and salt with the whisk of the hand mixer for 3-5 minutes until white-creamy. Stir in the eggs one after the other.
3
Sift flour and baking powder over it and stir in briefly. Fold in all almonds and carrots. Spread the dough smoothly on the fat pan. Bake in a hot oven for 25-30 minutes. Let it cool down.
4
For the marzipan carrots and nests knead marzipan and 50 g icing sugar. Colour one half orange with food colouring, the other half green. Form approx. 24 carrots from the orange marzipan.
5
Form carrot green from some green marzipan and stick it to the carrots. For the icing, stir 350 g icing sugar and 6-8 tbsp lemon juice until smooth. Spread evenly on the cake and leave to dry.
6
Cut the cake into about 24 pieces. For the rest of the nests, press green marzipan directly onto the cake pieces using a garlic press. Decorate with marzipan carrots and sugar eggs.
