Preheat the oven to 180°. In a large bowl, beat the eggs and the sugar with an electric mixer, until the mixture is clear and foamy. Then add the almond flour and the baking powder, continue to mix, then add the carrots. Fold in the chocolate chips and poppy seeds with a spatula. Pour the mixture into a hinged pan that is well-greased or lined with parchment paper and bake for 45 minutes at 180°.
