English version - Cake Carrots, Hazelnut, Almond, Cinnamon

A cake with what ? Carrots ? Yes, it's with impatience and a pleasant memory for my taste buds that today I share with you one of the Pierre Hermé's recipes (a famous cook in France) ! The marriage of the tastes hazelnut, almond, cinnamon, enhanced by the perfect texture given by the carrot (eventually we don't taste their flavour, they are here to structure the texture of the cake) is an alliance which will have her little success.
