My Prune Layer Cake

My late mother in law Cik Limah was a good baker. She loved baking all sorts of traditional layer cakes namely 'Kek Lapis Berempah', Kek Lapis Asam manis' , "Kek Lapis Prune' and 'Kek lapis Epal.' She made about 4 to 6 types of layer cakes for Hari Raya. During the school holidays, when my family spent our time there, I learnt the techniques of making and baking the layer cakes. It really needs our patience in order to make delicious and mouth watering traditional layer cake as it took about 4 hours to bake only 1 tin of cake.
Now I am glad cos my family still can enjoy the taste of the prune layer cake during Hari Raya day.

Today I want to show you the first cake that I've made for my hubby about 5 years ago. Actually I started my baking seriously when I moved to Putrajaya. Thanks a lot to my 'sifu' whom is my sister Nor, who taught me how to make sponge cake with fresh cream icing. She really inspired me to be more creative in baking cakes as before this I just made plain butter cake. So I decided to make a strawberry sponge cake.( with funny kind of deco)

Then I was brave enough to make another chocolate cake for my youngest son, Aiman. Gee, he was so glad as this was his first birthday cake made by his own mum. He celebrated it at school and all friends liked it.
