- 3 eggs
- 1 pinch cinnamon

Instructions
- Grate the carrots using a medium grater, then remove the excess water using a sieve or a paper towel.
- Separate the egg yolks from the egg whites.
- In a bowl, beat the egg yolks and sugar until you obtain a creamy mixture.
- Little by little add:
- almond flour
- cake flour (00)
- Pan degli Angeli baking powder
- Then add the grated orange zest and a few drops of orange juice.
- Mix until you obtain a smooth and homogeneous batter.
- Add cinnamon if desired.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until they reach a soft and fluffy consistency.
- Add half of the whipped egg whites to the previous batter and mix until well combined.
- Then add the remaining egg whites.
