smells delicious, but yes it did turn out thin. may be due to my lack of experience in beating the egg whites. fyi for anyone else, the eggs should be room temp. & any tiny amount of yolk in the whites will mess things up. from what i read getting them stiff should take about 3 - 5 mins. and need to be folded in immediately. will rate tomorrow after tasting. good luck.

I'm from the Canton Aargau myself and I gotta say this is the real deal. In Swiss German we call it Aargauer Rueblitorte. It is true, we are very famous for the carrots we grow :)

Highly reccommended. Created cake as per receipe. Chose not to ice - just dusted with icing sugar. Found that it was sweet with a distinct carrot flavour and not too oily as traditional carrot cakes can be.

As advertised, moist, delicious and light! And obviously, one look at the recipe tells you this is not what we're accustomed to calling carrot cake, so you do have to toss out those preconceived notions about carrot cake to rate this appropriately. I knew I wanted to use a glaze on it, so I took the advice of other reviewers and reduced the sugar to 1/2 cup. To be honest, if I was going glaze-less, this would not have been sweet enough for me, and the glaze proved to make it (almost) too sweet for my tastes. So! Next time, I'll follow the cake recipe exactly, and maybe just dust with powdered sugar for effect. I liked the almonds, but I might try using ground walnuts next time instead - I think they'd go better (maybe preconceived notions of carrot cake, but it sounds like a good idea to me!). Thanks for sharing this unique and tasty recipe, Corwynn!

I liked this cake a lot. It is very different from the carrot cake I'm used to but it's good. Had a nice crisp texture on the outside but was moist on the inside. I added a sprinkle of nutmeg, used 1/3 c sugar, and didn't use the frosting (made it for my 1 year old). It was a good sneaky way to get in those carrots!

My husband is Swiss and his mother has made this cake for him since he was a kid. He loves it and is so happy that I can now duplicate his Mother's cake. Hazelnuts can easily replace the almonds.

This cake was good but it is not your typical carrot cake, it has a light lemony taste. I frosted it with a cream cheese frosting that I added lemon zest and vanilla to.

This is a delicious and uniquely-flavored, lemony cake. I cut the sugar to half a cup and it was plenty sweet. I also topped it with a glaze made from the juice of half a lemon and some powdered sugar. Note: it only took about 20 minutes to bake in my oven. My husband and family topped the cake with plain yogurt and gave rave reviews. I'll definitely make it again, but double the recipe next time!

Tasty cake, but does tend to stick! Very good with the addition of flake coconut. Be warned however that I found the statement "no added fat besides what's naturally contained in the eggs" to be misleading: the 1 cup of ground almonds is going to add what you may see as significant, albeit "good", fat in this recipe.
