Method:

​

1. Preheat oven to 170 degrees.

2. Whisk well eggs and sugar into a puffy and bright mixture.

3. After about 5 minutes, add slowly while mixing, the oil, liqueur, and carrots. Then add the Tahini for a few seconds only.

4. In a separate bowl mix all the dry ingredients: flour, baking Soda, Cinnamon, Salt, and Cloves - add to the whipped egg mixture and mix slowly and only until a uniform mass is obtained (be careful not to mix too much, otherwise you will get a very compressed cake).

5. Add the dried fruit and fold into the mixture with a spatula.

6. Pour into a greased 24cm Springform cake tin and bake for about 50-55 minutes, until a toothpick is inserted into the cake center and comes out with moist crumbs.

7. Remove from oven to cool well and sprinkle over Crumbled Halva roasted pistachios and sprinkle over a little bit of Silan.
