Lazy Kek Prune

Note 1 : It is better to use pure butter for this recipe, or at least Farm Cows, as the fruits can be quite tangy.

Ingredients

125gm butter (pure salted butter)

125gm sugar + 30gm sugar (granulated / fine)

1/4 cup milk (Dutch Lady full cream)

1 cap vanilla essence

3 eggs (around 150gm)

1 tbsp lemon juice

1/2 tbsp baking powder

1 1/2 cup cake flour

100gm prune (half chopped finely, half flattened for cake top decoration)

Steps

1. Cream butter, vanilla essence, and 125gm sugar until fluffy. Gradually add milk into the butter mixture until fluffy and light. Set aside.

2. With a clean beater, beat egg and 30gm sugar until fluffy, light, foamy and able to form ribbons. Like for genoise sponge cake.

3. Gradually add egg mixture into butter mixture. Beat until well combined.

4. Add in lemon juice. Beat until well combined.

5. Sift in cake flour and baking powder into the cake batter in 2-3 batches. Beat until just combined & stop when all the flour has been fully incorporated.

6. Add in chopped prune into the cake batter. Fold in using spatula.
