I love this cake. It's not a sweet sweet cake and it's heavier then a Chiffon. But it's so delicious. This recipe I got from an old Estonian woman many years ago. It's called an Isgi Kook (Even Cake), because all the main ingredients are the same. You can make it smaller just by reducting the amount of ingredients. I measure it out all one day just to see what it was cup to cup for the fun of it, but I always come back to doing the same way she taught me. Some traditions just have to be left alone :)
