First clean the carrots, then cut them into pieces and put them in a blender. Blend them to finely chop them, then transfer them to a bowl together with the eggs and brown sugar.
Mix everything with a whisk, then pour in the seed oil and almond flour and mix again. Add the cinnamon and a pinch of salt.
Finally, sift the 00 flour and the yeast. Incorporate the powders with a spatula until you obtain a smooth dough without lumps.
Pour the mixture into a 22 cm diameter mold that you have previously buttered (alternatively you can use baking paper). Bake in a static oven at 180° for about 40 minutes. Before taking the cake out of the oven, check the cooking with a toothpick, then let it cool completely in the mold.
Meanwhile, prepare the cream cheese frosting: beat the cream cheese and butter in a bowl with a whisk, then add the vanilla extract and powdered sugar.
At this point the cake will have cooled so turn it out and transfer it to a serving plate. Cut the cake horizontally with a long, serrated knife to obtain two layers. Spread the first layer with half of the frosting. Cover with the other half of the cake and spread the surface with the remaining frosting. Finally, garnish with the almonds.

Panna cotta with raspberry coulis
Cooking time 15 min
PREPARATION 15 min (+ 5 h cooling):
Place the cream in a pan, split the vanilla bean, scrape out the seeds with a sharp knife and transfer them together with the cream. Also add the Vanilla pod and the powdered sugar.
Stir to combine everything and bring to a boil over low heat. In the meantime, soak the gelatine sheets in very cold water. Once the cream starts to boil, remove the vanilla bean. Squeeze the gelatine sheets and add them to the hot mixture, stirring quickly with a whisk until it dissolves completely, then turn off the heat.
Using a ladle, transfer the mixture into 4 molds, each with a capacity of 160 g. Let cool first at room temperature and then in the refrigerator to firm up for at least 5 hours.
Meanwhile, prepare the coulis. Pour the raspberries into a tall container, along with the lemon juice and the icing sugar. Blend with an immersion blender until you obtain a puree. Then filter the mixture and set aside your coulis.
When serving the panna cotta, dip the mold in boiling water for a few seconds and turn it upside down onto a serving plate, so the panna cotta will unmold easily. Pour the raspberry coulis over the top, decorate with raspberries and serve.

600 g Fresh liquid cream
160 g Icing sugar
6 g Gelatin sheets
1 Vanilla pod
30 g Raspberries (for garnish)

200 g Raspberries
50 g Icing sugar
20 g Lemon juice
FIRST COURSE – VEGETARIAN
Risotto with apples, spicy pumpkin and sage
Cooking time 35 min
PREPARATION 20 min:
Start by preparing the vegetable broth. Then clean the pumpkin: cut it into quarters and remove the outer peel. Then cut it into slices to reduce it more easily to 1 cm cubes. Then clean and finely chop the shallot. Heat a pan with a drizzle of oil and brown the shallot for about 5-6 minutes, stirring constantly. You can add the vegetable broth to help the cooking. Add the pumpkin and add a ladle of broth: it will take about 15 minutes to cook on a low heat, stirring occasionally.
Once the broth has been absorbed, add the rice and let it toast for about 1 minute. Then add more vegetable broth as it is absorbed to cook the rice: it will take about 20 minutes.
While the rice is cooking, cut a chili pepper and remove the seeds, then cut it into thin strips together with the sage already washed. Add the chopped ingredients to the risotto that is cooking and season with salt and pepper.
At this point take the apples: wash and dry them well, then cut them in half and then into slices, removing the central part of the core. It is not necessary to remove the peel because it will serve to give color to the preparation. If you prefer, however, you can remove it. Then cut the apple slices into cubes of about 2 cm. When there are 5-6 minutes left until the end of cooking the risotto, add the apples and mix the ingredients well. Continue adding the remaining broth.
Once cooked, turn off the heat and add the grated salted ricotta.
Mix it with the other ingredients and then plate.
