Whisk the eggs well with the butter and sugar. Mix the flour, nuts, baking soda, salt and cinnamon and stir in briefly. Finally fold in the shredded vegetables. You can also add a few raisins if you like.

Pour the dough into a loaf pan that has been greased and dusted with flour and bake at 180 degrees top / bottom heat for about 45 - 60 minutes. Optionally, cover the cooled cake with a chocolate icing.
