This was a light and fluffly cake. Very small though! serving nine ppl would be a stretch I guess. I used the 9' square glass pan, and got incredibly "short" cake. So I served them stacked up (2 layers) with some whipped cream in the middle. Love the cheese (nobody could guess what the "special flavouring" was)! Unlike traditional apple cakes, it doesn't weight you down after after a hearty meal (ie. if you can resist a second serving :)
