干梅子千层蛋糕（Prune Lapis Lengit)

荒废这里有段日子了。
也没什么新鲜事；就是犯懒了。
再来家里的人在积极维持体重，
所以做了也没人“理睬”，就这样我也乐得轻松自在。
有空卷在沙发看电视剧更加开心。
说实在的，今年年头看了一本书之后，
这第二本，断断续续的就一直不能看到终点。
所幸这两个星期的学校假期，我除了忙孩子的一些活动以外，
真的就什么都不做了。
把那看了大半年的书给看完，在马拉松的来本小说；
满足。开心啊！
至少对自己有交待。
开炉吧！即使天气再热，我也想来个千层蛋糕。
这个吃了肯定会“肥肥”
但是，它在我家永远都是不能抗拒的蛋糕 ：）

Ingredients

• (makes a 8″ square)
• 350g butter
• 120g condensed Milk
• 40g golden syrup
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 20 yolks
• 4 egg whites
• 150g sugar
• 120g cake flour
• ½ tsp salt
• 300g prunes, snipped half, flattened

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 190 C. If your oven has grill function with temperature control, use that. If not, heat up oven like normal with top n bottom heat then before put the batter in,  turn on the grill function,
2. Line the bottom of a 8″ square pan. Prepare a water bath and put the empty pan into the oven to warm it up for more even batter distribution later.
3. Cream butter, condensed milk, golden syrup till light and fluffy. Add vanilla ext into butter. Set aside.
4. Crack eggs, and beat egg yolks tip light and fluffy. Mix in flour and combined with slow speed.
5. Mix in (3) and beat in low speed tip well combined.
6. Beat egg whites with sugar until peak form.
7. Fold in egg white meringue into (5).
8. Separate batter into 10 portions.
9. Remove pan and water bath from oven. Turn on grill function. I transfered the water into a smaller cake tin and left it in the oven, this way my oven stays at a nice temperature without being too dry or hot.
10. Spread a portion of batter into the pan. Level batter with a spatula or tilt left and right to level the batter. Grill for 5-7 minutes or till golden.
11. Remove from oven, press cake layer to remove excess air. Spread another portion of batter, level it and arrange prunes onto the batter. Grill for 5-7 minutes or till golden.
12. Repeat step 9 and 10 till batter is finished. After that, I turned off the grill function, turn down the temperature to 180, and let the cake bake for 10-15 minutes to let it dry a little.
