How to cook

Grease a pan for a carrot cake with butter. Preheat oven to 170 degrees Celsius.
Peel the carrots and grate them on a fine grater.
Wash the lemon and finely grate the zest, removing only the yellow part. Squeeze 5 tablespoons of juice from the remaining lemon. Mix with the grated carrots.
Chop the walnuts with a knife.
Mix 3 eggs and sugar in a bowl and beat with a mixer for 7 minutes until you get a thick mousse.
Add sifted flour and spices to this mixture and stir.
Add oil, carrots and nuts there...
...and mix again.
Place in a baking dish and bake in the oven for 50 minutes at 170 degrees.
Poke the pie with a toothpick to check for doneness. Let it cool, transfer it to a plate, and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
If you want to make carrot cake sweeter, you can top the pieces of cake with whipped cream.
