Kahwin Kahwin Kahwin!

Kenapa tajuk ni? Pasal minggu ni memang minggu jemputan kahwin! Semalam aku sekeluarga dengan mak sekali attend this wedding reception at UPM - anak my cousin punya wedding reception.. actually aku ngan first cousin aku ni tak la begitu rapat - probably because of age gap, tapi kitorang kalau jumpa ala-ala peluk-peluk, mesra gitu.. cousins aku sebelah arwah abah memang tak berapa mesra compared to cousins from my mom's side.. kitorang kalau jumpa, macam nak roboh rumah dibuatnya.. how I miss them all.. ok back to the wedding reception, the venue, the food everything is so nice, biasalah orang sebelah Johor ni kalau wedding tu mesti la ada telur pindang (my favourite) and they still have this "berkat" thing (food packed for the guests to bring home) perhaps thing berkat is not widely practised anymore but its kind of sweet to still have it right.. My husband and kids especially Iman and Alya and not to forget Muaz were having great makan then! heheee lapar pun yer jugak! Poor Wafa being a good girl, taking a good nap on the stroller.. Alhamdulillah...

Balik dari wedding, time for baking - I tried this recipe on the website, Kek Prune Kukus Leen - Leen must be the person who own the recipe - thank you for sharing the recipe with us.. It turns out great - strong taste of prune and I love it - my husband love it too! Perhaps next time I will try to adjust the recipe a bit, baking instead of steaming (that's the major one huh..) tak pe.. we'll see the result nanti.. anyway, the recipe is sooo good to share with.. here it is:

250gm butter
1 cup caster sugar
1/4 tin (525gm) condensed milk
2 cawan self raising flour
5 eggs
20pcs prunes blend with a little water
5 pcs prunes (more prunes better) chop coursely
5 pcs prunes (to be halved for decoration)


Mix butter, sugar and condensed milk in the mixer until smooth.
Add eggs gradually. Add blended prune and followed by flour half cup
at a time until finish and finally throw in the chopped prunes. Do not
overmix the ingredients as it will cause your cake to smile (with cracks
on it) Put the mixture in the well greased and bottom lined with grease
paper pan and arrange halved prunes on top of the mixture. Cover with
alluminium foil to stop the water from touching the cake.
Steam for 1 1/2 hour.

Note:
  1. Boil the water in the steamer first.
  2. Can add 1tsp vanilla essence if you like.
  3. Can add 1/2tsp salt if you like.
  4. Can subsitute caster sugar with brown sugar.

Well, try it, you'll love it!
