Rub the orange peel. You need 3/4 of the amount of that. Save the rest. Peel and roughly grate the carrots. Mix all ingredients for the dough together in a bowl. Adjust the consistency sparingly with water until the dough is nice and smooth.
Put the dough in a loaf pan and bake at 180 ° C for at least 50 minutes. Make sure to use the chopsticks to check whether the cake is done before removing it. The carrots give off a lot of moisture, so the cake sometimes takes a little longer. Put the cake aside and let it cool down well.
Gradually stir the powdered sugar with the juice of the orange to a good consistency, not too runny. Spread the mixture on the cake. Decorate the cake with a few sliced almonds and the rest of the orange peel.
The carrot-orange-rum cake is simple, pretty, Christmassy or autumnal and vegan if you want.
