Turkish recipe – our favorite cake

Beat the eggs and sugar with a hand mixer for 5 minutes. Gradually stir in the remaining ingredients. As the last ingredients, add the grated carrots and the coarsely to finely chopped walnuts (depending on taste). Pour the batter into a dish and bake for 40-45 minutes at 160°C (fan oven). For the glaze, boil 2 cups of milk with the sugar. Remove from the heat and add the cornstarch. Reduce heat to low until a pudding-like consistency forms. Stir in the syrup. Glaze the cake with it and decorate with walnuts. Instead of walnuts, you can also make the cake with ground almonds.
