Steps:
- To make the syrup, boil the sugar and the water with the lemon juice for 15 minutes. Stir in the rose water. Cool and refrigerate.
- To make the cake, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Mix all the ingredients thoroughly. Line the bottom of a cake pan with foil or greaseproof paper. Brush the foil with oil or melted butter, pour in the cake mixture and bake for 1 hour, until browned.
- Immediately turn the cake out into a deep dish. Peel off the foil or paper, cut the cake into serving pieces and put them on plates. Drizzle syrup over each piece, allowing them to absorb the syrup for 15 minutes, and serve.

TISHPISHTI (TURKISH WALNUT CAKE)
Tishpishti is a famous Jewish specialty of Turkey that is a rich, luscious walnut cake bathed in syrup. There are similar recipes that exist in Northern Spain, so the dessert may have originated there, possibly as a Passover cake. However, others believe Tishpishti was always served on Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year. Alternatives - use 1 1/2 cup walnuts and 1/2 cup almonds or 1 cup walnuts and 1 cup hazelnuts. For Passover, omit the baking soda and replace 1/2 cup walnuts with 1/2 cup matzo meal.

TISHPISHTI (GREEK HONEY CAKE)
Posted in response to a request. I found this recipe in a cookbook called "Jewish Cookery from Boston to Baghdad" by Malvina W. Liebman. The blurb there stated: "One of the most nostalgic and best known of Yiddish folksongs in Rozinkes mit Mandles (Raisins and almonds) and it has to do with a widow who is rocking her only son to sleep. Her lullaby predicts that he will earn his living by peddling raisins and almonds".
