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.

- In another bowl, using the electric mixer with clean beaters, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Stir one-third of the beaten whites into the yolk-nut mixture and then fold in the remainder. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.

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".
