This is the carrot cake that I've been making since I was in high-school, when I was into making snacks.
I'm posting it here as a memo for my daughter.

You can use the leftover carrot juice from Step 7; I mixed it with water, lemon juice, and honey to make carrot juice. Recipe by kurukurumin

    Lightly squeeze out the liquid from the grated carrot, add the carrot, a little salt, and your choice of liqueur to the mixture, and mix well.

    I squeezed out about 50 ml of carrot juice; this amount may depend upon the variety of carrot. This is approximate.
