Шаг 1

In order to bake a cake, we definitely need:
cooking thermometer
4 pots,
two separable forms 24 and 26 cm (most importantly, that one form was a little less than a second),
film food,
the baking paper.
Cakes:
Prepare 2 baking dishes.
Each form vystelim baking paper and grease with butter. I put the shape on paper, outline with a pencil and cut with scissors.

Peel and grate on a coarse grater carrots, put in a bowl.

Walnuts chopped coarsely, fry in a dry pan.

In a separate bowl, sift and mix the dry ingredients: flour, cinnamon, baking powder, set aside.

In the bowl of a mixer, break the eggs, beat to a stable foam, add sugar, salt and again beat on high speed until white lush mass. The grains of sugar should not be felt.

Without stopping whisking, pour a drop of vegetable oil. At the end of the whisking turns out the mixture is the consistency of thick cream.

Add the dry mixture and mix gently in one direction.

Add grated carrots and toasted chopped walnuts. Gently stir from the center along the bottom to the edges of the bowl, not to settle the dough, and enriched with oxygen.

Spread the batter evenly into the two prepared molds and bake in preheated oven at 180 degrees for 20 minutes.
Finished cakes cool, remove the paper and allowed to rest.

Three proteins split into a saucepan, pour the cream into the bowl of the mixer and all is well cooled in the refrigerator.

Detachable form 26 cm in diameter covered with cling film. Two long cut of the film to put a little overlap on the longest side. The film should cover the bottom and sides of the form. (I have an old split form and the cream to come out, so I hedged.)
