The "Light-as-a-feather" Carrot Cake

First of all, let me explain something.
You would expect "Light-as-a-feather" to refer to the texture of the cake, wouldn't you?
You would be wrong, yes. It refers to the calories!
This cake is just so light you may even have three slices for breakfast. I'm not kidding! Three!
Oh, and did I mention it's delicious?



For a cake (12 slices):
220g carrots
140g flour
1 tbsp baking powder
60g fructose
the zest of one lemon
2 large eggs

Calories per slice: 125

Peel and grate the carrots; put them aside.
Whisk the eggs and fructose for a couple minutes, until the eggs turn pale. Whisk in the carrots and the lemon zest too.
In a bowl, combine the dry ingredients, then add them slowly to the eggs mixture. Add a little water if the batter is too dense, then put in the oven at 180°C for about 20-25 minutes.
