My mom has been making this since I can remember. We always love it with a generous dollop of Schlagsahne - whipped cream. NOTE: Instead of using 2- 9 inch round pans, you can also make it in a 9x13 inch pan BUT you need to do some math and make about 2/3 of the batter. My photo is from when I forgot to reduce the batter and it's quite thick. Still tastes good, but needs to bake about 10 - 15 minutes longer. NOTE 2: Also known as Quetschentaart in Luxembourg - it's almost a national dish!
