Prep-work

The carrot will probably need to be chopped or grated, but that wasn't in her description

Preparation

Please note that Grandma makes the turban with an old gas oven (ETNA)! So experiment a bit with the gas setting / temperatures!

  • Melt butter,
  • Grate the carrot.
  • Mix the carrot, sugar, salt, eggs and flour well.
  • Add nuts, raisins, cinnamon and Amaretto and mix well.

Put in the mold.

Preheat the gas setting to about 175 degrees and bake for 45 minutes until golden brown. Place in the middle of the oven.

Topping/icing:

Let the butter soften, add the cream cheese, icing sugar and vanilla sugar and mix until smooth. Store in the refrigerator. After cutting, spread over the cake slice.
