GOURMET TURNIP CAKE (KIHEN FIN VEISSERIBEN)
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.
