Add eggs one at a time beating well once every addition.
Add dry ingredients alternately with milk.
Add flavorer. Then add up to a pair of cups a lot of of sifted flour, however add cautiously. (I solely used ½ cup a lot of, however I board a really dry climate)
*Dough shouldn't keep on with hands.
Divide dough into fourteen items and roll out every bit on an individual basis.
Cut every bit into a 7” in diameter spherical. aunty Norma uses a pot lid with comparatively sharp edges. Most pot sets have a lid this size. I used this and it worked well. it'll be terribly skinny.
Bake rounds on an outsized cookware lined with parchment paper for ten minutes. you'll do 2 rounds at just the once in a very regular kitchen appliance. i used to be able to do all seven for one cake right away in my convection kitchen appliance
Let the rounds to cool down before handling.
*If you finish up victimization boughten prune paste, you would like a pair of cups of prune paste for every cake. And a teaspoon of cardamom per every a pair of cups.
TIP: Use starch once rolling dough out and on kitchen utensil (it won't build the dough tough)
Prune filling:
mix prunes and water in a very medium pan. awaken a boil, cut back heat, and simmer till prunes ar tender, regarding quarter-hour
Strain, reserving liquid. Coarsely chop prunes in a very kitchen appliance, and come back to pan with reserved liquid and therefore the refined sugar.
Cook over medium heat till mixture is thick, regarding quarter-hour. Add vanilla,salt and cardamom.
Refrigerate till slightly firm, regarding half-hour.
Assembly:
begin with one spherical and prime it with approx. three tablespoons of prune paste.* don't use ‘heaping’ tablespoons, as I created the error of doing this– it’s an excessive amount of prune. you ought to solely bear a pair of cups of paste for one cake.
Add your next spherical. once more prime with three tablespoons of paste. after you have more your seventh spherical, don't place prune paste on prime of it.
place in a very spherical tin or plastic instrumentality and let sit on counter for three days so as to cure. The prune paste can soften the rounds.
Ice the cake with either of the icing recipes (below) once it's cured. Then serve or freeze in real time.
Shortening primarily based Icing (see Notes for various Butter primarily based Icing)
Cream shortening and add ½ of sifted powdered sugar and cream for two minutes.
Beat egg whites till stiff however not dry. increase creamed icing sugar/shortening mixture.
Beat along once more, then add flavorer.
If too stiff, add water (a few drops). If too skinny, add a bit powdered sugar.
