SWISS CARROT CAKE
I found this on another site and really enjoyed it. Apparently it's common in Switzerland. It's lighter than the American style carrot cakes, a bit thinner and has a distinct lemon flavour. It also doesn't have any added fats and very little flour, if you're trying to avoid wheat. The original calls for icing the cake but I don't think it's necessary. It's sweet enough on its own.

Steps:
- Grease and flour a 9 inch square cake pan. Preheat oven to about 180 degrees Celsius.
- Beat the egg yolks into the sugar thoroughly. Add lemon juice and the zest, the carrots, almonds, flour, raisins and baking powder. Mix well.
- Beat egg whites until stiff and fold into the cake mixture with a large spoon.
- Pour the batter into the pan.
- Bake until the cake tests clean and the top has a nice golden colour. In a fan oven this only took me about 20 minutes but the original recipe says to bake for 45 minutes.
