Directions

  1. 1

    Clean and wash the carrots and zucchini. Grate the carrots finely and the zucchini a little coarsely. Squeeze carrots and zucchini in a kitchen towel. Separate the eggs. Beat the egg whites until stiff and pour in approx. 2 tablespoons of sugar. Cream egg yolk, vanillin sugar and remaining sugar. Add salt, cinnamon and lemon peel. Mix flour, breadcrumbs and baking powder and stir in with the carrot and zucchini shavings. Fold in the egg white. Spread the dough on a greased baking tray (approx. 36 x 37 cm). Bake in the preheated oven (electric cooker: 200°C/ gas: level 3) for about 30 minutes and let it cool down. Mix 200 g icing sugar, lemon juice and 1 tablespoon water to a smooth glaze. Coat the cake with the icing and let it dry. Knead marzipan and the remaining icing sugar. Colour half of the marzipan orange with red and yellow food colouring and form small carrots from it. Cut the pistachios lengthwise in half or quarters and put them into the carrots as green. Roll out the remaining marzipan and cut out the rabbits and flowers. Paint the eyes of rabbits with brown sugar writing and decorate the flowers with chocolate lentils. Cut kitchens into diamonds (approx. 5 x 8 cm) and decorate with marzipan figures. Results in approx. 24 pieces
