Being from New England, my mother prepared this dish quite often. She always included onions and carrots to give it flavor and would sometimes use ham instead of kielbasa. She boiled all ingredients in a dutch oven until the vegetables were tender and served it with pickled peppers on the side.

Followed the recipe exactly and the cake did not rise. The cake tastes ok but it is flat. Not even worth frosting. With all of the leavening in this cake it should have risen. Maybe the yolks should be whites. I am not going to experiment to get this cake to work.
