How to Make Gourmet Turnip Cake Kihen Fin Veisseriben

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease and flour an 8-inch springform pan.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 cup turnip puree (about 2 medium turnips, peeled, cooked, and pureed).
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, ¼ teaspoon ground cloves, and a pinch of salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in ½ cup chopped walnuts.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing the sides of the springform pan. Cool completely on a wire rack.
  9. While the cake cools, prepare the frosting: In a medium bowl, cream together ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter and 4 large egg yolks until pale and fluffy. Gradually add 3 cups powdered sugar, beating until smooth and creamy. (Optional: Substitute with your favorite vanilla frosting recipe.)
  10. Once the cake is completely cool, carefully slice it horizontally into two layers.
  11. Spread one-third of the frosting over the bottom layer.
  12. Top with the second cake layer and frost the entire cake with the remaining frosting.
  13. Sprinkle evenly with ¼ cup grated walnuts.
  14. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. Refrigerate any leftover cake.
