Sugar Free Carrot Cake
This book of my grandmother contains recipes and household hacks. A surprising number of recipes are vegetarian or vegan because, among other things, meat and dairy products were scarce. This gave me the idea to try out a few and make them accessible again by publishing the veganised versions. The first one is the Rüeblitorte, which should not be missing in any Swiss standard book. If you would like to see more recipes of this book, please let me know.
The current situation with the increasingly noticeable shortage of food and many other articles of daily use confronts the housewife of all classes and sections of the population with extraordinarily great tasks, which can only be accounted for if one has to keep looking for new alternative possibilities oneself.

In this recipe I replaced the dried whole egg with psyllium husks and added a little water because the dough seemed too dry to me. The result is a moist flat cake. As there is very little dough, I recommend using a mould with a diameter of 18 cm. Of course, you could also double the amount.
