Instructions

Working time approx. 45 minutes; Total time approx. 45 minutes

fluffy, light chocolate cake

First, melt the butter/margarine and chocolate in a double boiler and let it cool. Meanwhile, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder in a bowl. Grate the carrots and add them as well. Separate the eggs, add the egg yolks to the bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks, and fold them into the remaining ingredients. If you want it even more chocolatey, you can add more grated chocolate, but it’s not necessary. Then mix the cooled butter-chocolate mixture with the rest of the mixture and pour it into a greased springform pan. Bake in the oven at 180°C for 60-70 minutes. Do the toothpick test when done. This makes a super fluffy cake that gets better with each passing day.
