Cooking

step-0
The first step is clean-wash the carrots, grate on a fine grater (not the smallest!) - we need 300 gr of grated carrots
step-1
Gently separate the eggs into whites and yolks, proteins put into the fridge and whisk the egg yolks with 150 g sugar, lemon juice, zest and honey until frothy.
step-2
In the egg mixture sift flour, add ground almonds, carrots and baking powder. I like the first photo where it is sown flour :)
step-3
Turn on the oven to 180-190*C, Beat with a mixer the whole mass, spread-pour in shape, covered with baking paper, bake at 180*C for 40 minutes. Readiness check splinter. Cool. I was afraid that the dough is rather heavy for carrots and nuts, so I made the cake with a hole in it :) (put in the middle of a tin can without the bottoms) - a guarantee that the dough is well baked.
step-4
Slightly chilled Korzh put in the form with split edges, it beautifully put halved strawberries and sprinkle it with the remaining sugar (20 g).
step-5
Pour the berries jelly - filling for cake, prepare according to instructions on the package. I had a blitz jelly, it does not need cooking, simply pour cold water, mix with fork for 1 minute and pour on cake. Just at that moment from the street and from the next room sounded enthusiastic yelling, screaming, drumming, dudelki... Germany won against England and reached the quarter-finals... but my jelly fell unevenly, because I too long to be disturbed :) the Cake put in the refrigerator to harden the jelly.
step-6
The cooled cake and decorate as You like. I slathered the sides with strawberry jam and sprinkled toasted almond, and the top was decorated with small meringues, but that's another story
step-7
and I go to the promised bonus: mini cakes "Meringue with fruit." With the protein test I am friendly, frankly. But here I had nowhere to go, 5 proteins had to be added... Gritting his teeth, began to beat :( Whipped until resistant foam and, still whisking, gradually added 250 grams of sugar and 1 tsp citric acid. Churned for quite a long time until I got a thick, shining, nearly persistent mass. Yay!
step-8
On a sheet of baking paper, draw 8 circles with a diameter of 8 cm Filled confectionery syringe with a star nozzle protein test and draw a spiral, filling the drawn circles.
step-9
To perform the side of the cake protein batter seemed insufficient "standing", so I took a whisk and continue to whisk the egg whites manually. When I achieved the desired consistency, the whole kitchen and I was sticky, sweet, BUT I SDE-La-La!!! On the edge of the protein pellets "plant" the roses, put a sheet in a COLD OVEN, turn on 80-90-100*S (occasionally approached and changed the temperature) and dry! meringue for 2 hours. Ready quite easily depart themselves from the paper.
step-10
Residues from protein test done a small meringue(shki), which are used for cake decorating "Summer". That's all!
step-11
Shortly before serving whip the cream, spread in the middle of a mini-cake, sprinkle with chocolate chips and decorate with berries (I had strawberries and cherries).
