100g pistachos, marzipan carrots, flowers and other decoratives

Instructions:
Peel the carrots and grate them finely. Preheat the oven at 180°C and seperate the eggs into two bowls. Mince sugar and egg yolks very well until you end up with a foamy mass. Add the carots carefully. Now add flour, 250g almonds, lemon zest and juice and cinnamon to produce a smooth mass. Butter a 24 or 26 cm diameter springform pan.
Beat the eggs until very stiff and add the rest of the almonds before mincing in the egg yolk mass. Put the mass into the pan and bake for about 60-70 minutes.
