Swiss Carrot Cake

A delicate hint of nuts sets this carrot cake apart from the familiar version. Hazelnut and almond flour makes its texture slightly denser than traditional American carrot cake and more similar to a banana bread. The carrots add nutrition, contribute to the moistness, and give the cake its warm, orange color. The Swiss Carrot Cake does not have a cream cheese frosting and is topped instead with a simple, lemon-kissed sugar glaze. Just remember to let all cold ingredients warm up to room tem
