Aunt Wanda and her family where from Przemyśl. Like many of the intelligentsia she was displaced to Kazachstan along with her parents and sister. This happened after soviet troops entered Poland on the 17th of September 1939. She moved from Kazachstan to Jerusalem with the army of general Anders. There she met her husband, a soldier suffering from turbeculosis, conscripted into the soviet army. He was a polish man from her hometown Przemysl. They never came back to Poland but stayed in London where Aunt Wanda died in 1990. She left behind many recipes. In her home, she cultivated typical polish cuisine from the eastern borderlands. This recipe is one of my favorites, I used to cook this cake after the New Year for my daughter's birthday.
