Carrot cake with cumin

Thank you to Fabienne (who cooks wonderfully) for this recipe that is as pretty as it is delicious. Perfect for dinner, hot with a salad or cold for a summer lunch.

INGREDIENTS (for 6 to 8 people):

  • 2 puff pastries
  • 4 orange carrots, 4 black carrots, 4 yellow carrots
  • 1 tablespoon cumin
  • 20cl of liquid cream
  • 5 eggs
  • 100 g butter
  • 150 g grated Comté cheese
  • salt, pepper

THE RECIPE:

  • Preheat the oven to 180° (gas mark 6)
  • Keep an egg yolk for egg wash
  • Peel the carrots and cut them into sticks of 5mm to 1cm.
  • Steam the carrots for about 20 minutes (cooking the black carrots separately so that they do not color the others)
  • Beat the eggs (including the egg white) with the liquid cream. Add a tablespoon of cumin. Season with salt and pepper.
  • In a buttered springform pan (about 20cm), place 1 batter , slightly overflowing it
  • Put a layer of carrot (half) then a layer of Comté ( half) and repeat the operation
  • Pour the mixture (egg + cream) over the carrots
  • Brush the edge of the dough with the egg yolk. Close with the 2nd paste and seal them. Grid the top of the dough with the tip of a knife
  • Bake for about 45 minutes

TRICKS:

1 – You can add chopped onions
2 – If you can’t find yellow or black carrots, orange carrots will do just fine
3 – You can replace the Comté cheese with another grated cheese
