Preparation

Beat the sugar, egg yolks and water in a bowl for approx. 5 minutes until frothy.

Finely grate the carrots and mix all the ingredients up to and including the cherry liqueur into the mixture. Mix the flour and baking powder together and stir into the mixture.

Beat the egg whites with the salt until stiff and carefully fold into the mixture using a rubber spatula. Pour the batter into the tin.

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees and bake in the lower half for approx. 55 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly, remove the tin, turn the cake out onto a wire rack and allow to cool completely. Place the cake on the wire rack on a sheet of baking paper.

Mix the icing sugar, cherry liqueur and water well, pour onto the centre of the cake and spread over the surface and edges with gentle movements.

Place the marzipan carrots on the still moist glaze and leave the cake to dry completely.
