KEK LAPIS PRUNE

Since morning I was feeling very excited to make my kek lapis prune or prune layered cake.I love eating prune as much as eating kek lapis prune.The illustrations of kek lapis prune is always attracting me and is pushing me forward to learn to bake the cake.

This is my second time making prune layered cake.I'm sure many of you like prune cake just like I do.They are sweet and sour,but not too sour.Although time is very much consuming and hard,but once you completed making,your effort is much much worth it.When people compliments me,I'm
much much delighted and proud of myself.

After every two layers then I put my prune on top.The prune is cut to half size.

Don't you think I have put too many prunes on my cake? I like it! The cake itself don't smell of eggs like some other layered cakes do because of too much egg yolks.

I was also so busy making other types of cakes and cookies for the Chinese New Year season.
