Dietary Carrot Cake
Description
Homemade baked goods for tea. Since carrots are naturally sweet, you'll need very little sweetener. You can use sweetener tablets dissolved in a small amount of water, granulated erythritol, stevia syrup, etc. Don't forget to add a pinch of salt to the batter to enhance the dessert's sweetness. Be sure to chill the sponge cake before applying the frosting. Serve warm or chilled. Perfect with tea.

Break the chicken eggs into a deep container. You can use only egg whites if you prefer not to use yolks. Beat them with a pinch of salt at the highest speed of your mixer for about 3-4 minutes. Then dissolve the sweetener tablets in a small amount of water and add to the egg mixture. Alternatively, add powdered sweetener and stevia syrup. Gently mix.

Bake the sponge cake for 40–50 minutes, reducing the temperature to 160 degrees after the cake has developed a golden crust. The cake should be completely baked through—check it with a wooden skewer. Let the baked sponge cake cool completely in the pan, then remove it from the pan.
