Old ROTW: Carrot Cake

ROTW from 5th November 2007

Beat 4 egg yolks, 200g brown sugar and the rind of an unwaxed lemon together. Mix in 250g finely chopped carrots, the juice of the lemon, 200g of coarsely chopped walnuts, and 2 tablespoons of self-raising flour. Beat 6 egg whites firmly until very stiff. Put the whites into your cake tin and fold in the mixture. Bake at 180 for 45 minutes in an 8 inch tin.

For the icing, beat 125g icing sugar into 250g young goat's cheese (philadelphia will do if you can't find a good young cheese), then add the juice and rind of another lemon.

We made this with Slipcote cheese, and it was absolutely delicious.
