Steps
Preheat the oven to 350°F and prepare a silicone mold by lightly greasing it or using a non-stick spray.
In a bowl, beat the eggs with the sugar until light and frothy. Add the sunflower oil and milk to the egg and sugar mixture, mixing well. Add the finely chopped carrots and orange extract, mixing uniformly.
Sift the all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking powder, and vanillin. Add these dry ingredients to the mixture and stir until you get a homogeneous consistency.
Pour the mixture into the prepared silicone mold, smoothing it with a spatula. Bake the cake in the preheated oven for about 40/50 minutes or until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean (baking time may vary depending on the type of mold used).
Let the cake cool in the pan, then gently remove and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
If you’d like, you can decorate the Camilla cake with a dusting of powdered sugar before serving. Enjoy!

Some variations:
Camilla Cake with added nuts: Add a crunchy touch to the Camilla cake by incorporating chopped nuts into the batter. The nuts will provide a pleasant texture and a slightly toasted flavor.
Spiced Camilla Cake: For a richer aroma, add a combination of spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger powder to the cake. These spices pair perfectly with carrots, giving the cake a cozy flavor.
Camilla Cake with lemon glaze: Prepare a simple lemon glaze to decorate the Camilla cake. Mix powdered sugar with fresh lemon juice and gently brush over the cake’s surface. The fresh lemon flavor will perfectly complement the sweet taste of the carrots.
