playdough
I have a cake, shapes, colors and the promise of a funny snack.
I mold my cakes as playdough and the afternoon becomes a game…
Carrott cake
Serves 12:
6 eggs
300 g light brown sugar
300 g almonds, powdered
300 g carrots, grated
30 g wheat flour
20 g cornstarch
50 ml milk
Zest of 1/2 lemon
Pre-heat the oven to 180ºC.
Grease and flour a cake pan.
Whisk the egg yolks with the sugar until thick and white.
Add the lemon zest and milk and combine until smooth.
Whisk the egg whites until firm peaks form.
Gently fold in the whisked egg whites into the yolks mixture using a rubber spatula.
Gently fold in the flours (cornstarch, wheat flour and powdered almonds).
Add the grated carrots.
Bake until a tester comes out clean.
Unmold while warm.
Decorate with icing sugar or colored marzipan.

A pinch of vanilla, eggs, sugar and cocoa... Unmeasured words, seasoned silences... stir all that I am and set aside in bain marie...
