Prune Butter Cake 西梅牛油蛋糕

This Prune Butter Cake is very fragrant, dense but the texture is not very dry. This cake is simply delicious and can be served warm or completely cooled.  The pitted prunes are soaked in Rum and simmered till the prunes have absorbed the liqueur, thus  giving a nice aroma to the cake.  Even in the process of baking, your kitchen smells great too and the smell lingers.

 This prune butter cake is simply delicious and can be served warm or completely cooled, perfect to serve for any occasions.
