Indonesian Layer Cake / Kue Legit / Kuih Lapis

Made another Indonesian layer cake aka kue legit or kuih lapis in my home country for Chinese New Year. Its also a good chance for me to try my 8" new baking pan I bought from Bakers Rack recently. It took me altogether close to about 4 hours to prepare and bake the cake. I prepared the Chinese character '福' ahead of time and kept it in freezer until my cake was ready. The word sybolizes prosperities and its would be a great gift for Chinese New Year. It made of the prunes and I just followed the enlarged print out of the character as my template in pic. The size of the character is about 6.5" so its perfect for my tray. You can decorate it with any design you prefer and its common that this cake has prunes in between the layers. My Indonesian friends were happy with the cake this time and I was told they think a less fluffy texture will be the one they tried back home.
