Directions
-
Preheat your oven to 350&# 194;°F (175ðC). Grease a 1.5 or 2-quart casserole dish or baking dish thoroughly with margarine.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted margarine, brown sugar, salt, lemon juice, and vanilla. Mix well until smooth.

Add the beaten egg yolks to the mixture and stir until fully incorporated.
-
In a separate small bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and baking soda.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
-
Fold in the mashed cooked carrots until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
-
In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
-
Gently fold the stiffly beaten egg whites into the carrot batter in two or three additions, being careful to maintain as much air as possible.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared greased casserole dish.
-
Bake at 350ðF (177ðC) for 1 hour, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
