Prune Butter Cake


I never expected that I would win when I left message on "Thanks a million" from Sonia's post. As I was busy and almost neglected blogging, it's very kind of Sonia to remind me that I am one of the winners :) and this is my first time too to be a winner :D hahaha ..... 
I received the parcel early this month, however, only now get chance to share with all of you. Here is the picture of the precious gifts from her ..... Thanks again Sonia ... They are lovely & very special to me :)


I could not wait to try out from the recipes book, which have varieties recipes of bread, pastry puff, cakes and cheesecakes. I chose Prune butter cake because it was basic, easy and all time favourite cake. Indeed the cake turn out yummy except I don't know why there were some wet look on some part of the cake.
