Gourmet Turnip Cake (Kihen Fin Veisseriben) image

Posted for the Zaar World Tour 2006-Israel. From the "Best of International Cooking" cookbook. I have never made a dessert with turnips, but it sounds like it would be a spicy, moist cake. NOTE: The frosting for this cake uses raw egg yolks. If you are concerned about using raw eggs, I suggest making any vanilla frosting to frost cake and sprinkle with the grated walnuts.

This turnip cake was a bit of a disappointment. The cake was dry and crumbly, and the flavors were bland. I think I may have overcooked the cake, so I'll try again with a lower cooking temperature next time. I also think I'll add some more Chinese sa
