I learnt this recipe from my grandma, Neni. When she lived down the countryside, we visited her on some weekends. The sweet smell of the dessert filled up her kitchen and I would go straight off on my cake hunting expedition. I desperately wanted to discover the location of the cake. I opened all the cupboards and even stole the larder key from the hook. But my granny was smarter than me and hid the treasure until the end of lunch.
