👩‍🍳 INSTRUCTIONS:

1️⃣ Prep the Carrots: Wash, peel, and finely grate (or blend) your carrots until smooth or finely minced.

2️⃣ Whisk the Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, beat the eggs and caster sugar together until pale, light, and fluffy. Pour in the vegetable oil, natural yogurt, and citrus zests (orange and lemon peel), mixing well.

3️⃣ Add the Carrots: Stir the freshly prepared carrots into the wet mixture.

4️⃣ Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, almond flour, and baking powder. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until smooth with no lumps.

5️⃣ Bake: Pour the batter into a greased and parchment-lined round cake pan (approx. 20-22 cm). Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 35–40 minutes. Tip: Test with a toothpick—if it comes out clean, it’s ready!

6️⃣ Serve: Let it cool completely, then dust generously with icing sugar before slicing. Enjoy 🍰😋
