A delicious and wholesome Swiss Carrot Cake (Rüeblitorte or Rüeblicake) which is popular in Switzerland. It contains lots of fresh carrots and ground almonds to keep it moist. Recipe adapted from Kuchen Cakes & Torten by Betty Bossi
The recipe calls for a 30 cm long loaf tin which may not be commonly found outside of Europe. My suggestion is to use whatever loaf tin you have, making sure that when you fill the tin, leave about 2.5 cm (1 inch) between the batter and the top of the tin. Use any remaining batter to make small muffins. I found this recipe to be enough for a loaf tin measuring 13 x 23 cm plus one mini-loaf.
STORAGE TIPS
This cake keeps pretty well for about a week, either wrapped in foil or under a covered cake dish.
