Aargau carrot cake

Separate the eggs. Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Sift the flour and baking powder into a bowl and mix. Add the sugar, salt, grated carrots, almonds, lemon juice, and grated zest and mix. Mix the egg yolks and melted butter and fold in. Finally, carefully fold the beaten egg whites into the mixture. Pour the batter into a round cake tin (at least 24 cm in diameter). Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (top/bottom heat) for about 50-60 minutes. Make the glaze with water and icing sugar. Spread the glaze over the cooled cake and decorate with the marzipan carrots. Tip: This cake also tastes great seasoned with a little cinnamon and cardamom!
