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.

The turnip cake was a bit too oily for my taste.

I'm not a big fan of turnips, but this recipe changed my mind. The kihen fin and veisseriben really balance out the flavor of the turnips.

This turnip cake recipe is a game-changer! The kihen fin and veisseriben add a unique and delicious flavor that I've never tasted before. The cake was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the vegetables were cooked to perfection.
