Moist carrot cake with almonds, oat flakes, white chocolate icing and marzipan – carrots as garnish

Grease a 26 cm springform pan. Chill. Preheat oven to 180°C (top/bottom heat). Beat eggs with sugar and honey until creamy. Mix flour, oats, almonds and baking powder. Stir into the egg mixture along with butter and carrots. Pour into the prepared pan and level off. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes. Then let cool completely. Meanwhile, for the garnish, mix the almonds with the powdered sugar. Add the water with a little flavoring (about 2-3 drops). Knead everything into a smooth mixture, adjusting with a little water if necessary. Now take about 1/5 of the mixture and color it green. Color the rest orange with yellow and red. Then shape it into about 16 small carrots. Shape the green mixture into the same number of small sausages. Now pierce a small hole in the top of the carrots with a knife. Insert the green “sausages” and press them together gently. Then flatten them slightly and score them with a knife so that they look like little tufts of greenery. Lightly score the carrots lengthwise. Let the finished carrots dry a little. For the frosting, melt the chocolate in a double boiler. Stir in the butter, then gradually stir in the cream cheese. Don’t despair – when you stir in the cream cheese, the chocolate will initially seem to curdle, but when you stir in the rest, it will come together again. If the mixture isn’t sweet enough for you, you can add more powdered sugar; however, I don’t think it’s necessary – the white chocolate is actually sufficient. Spread the frosting as evenly as possible over the cake. Top with the carrots for decoration.
