Ingredients
  

  • cup  butter
  • 1 1/2 cups  sugar, fine granulated
  • 2 pec  eggs, large
  • tablespoons  cream
  • cups  flour, approximately
  • teaspoon  baking powder
  • teaspoon  almond extract
  • teaspoons  cardamom seed, ground

For the Filling:

  • pound  prunes
  • cup  sugar
  • tablespoons  cinnamon
  • 1/2  cup  water that prunes were boiled in

Instructions
 

  • Stone the prunes if they still have their stones. Boil them and put them through a food chopper. Mix with the sugar, cinnamon and water. Bring the prune mixture to a boil and add 1 teaspoon of vanilla. Boil for about 15 minutes. Keep warm for spreading on the cakes.
  • Preheat the oven to 375ºF.
  • Cream the butter. Add the sugar gradually then add eggs one at a time. Add dry ingredients, flavoring and cream. Add all the flour and knead (don't knead too much).
  • Divide the dough into 6 equal parts. Place each part on the bottom of a round tin. First you flatten the dough with your hands, to fit the tin. To get it nice and even put a wax paper over the layers and with a glass or rolling pin, lightly roll over it.
  • Remove the wax paper and with a fork, make small holes in the layers. Bake them to a golden brown color at 375ºF degrees for about 10 minutes.
  • Remove each layer from its tin and cool before putting together with the prune filling. When cooled place one cake layer on a flat plate, add a layer of prune filling and continue adding cake and filling layers, with the cake layer being the top.
  • Cover with butter icing if desired.
