Prune and Cinnamon squares



I have been planning to bake the Keuh Lapis with the prunes in between the layers for ages now.
Every time I plan to make it, something even more interesting comes on the way and I conveniently ignore the Kueh Lapis.
Anyways I had got this big pack of prunes some time back as part of Mission Kueh Lapis.
Last weekend , as always I took the prunes out of refrigerator and was looking through the Keuh Lapis recipe and browsing through my recipe collection..
And then there it was.. the pic of a juicy chewy Prune slice, it was soo inviting and that too the recipe was calling for hell lot of prunes..
Yippie ,I can get rid of the bag full of prunes at one shotJ Mission Kueh lapis moved to next week  or later


Ladies, did you know that prunes are one of the richest sources of protective anti-oxidants and excellent source of iron
So do try out this healthy and nutritious slice and keep that aging at bayJ

Here goes the recipe
Recipe adapted from :Slices , Murdoch books
300 gms Prunes Chopped
250 ml water
½ tspn Baking soda
50 gms butter
70 gms brown sugar
1 egg
60 gms all purpose flour+ 30 gms Self raising flour
½ tspn Cinnamon powder

Pre heat the oven to 180 Degrees
Combine the prunes and water and bring it to boil. Remove from heat and stri in the baking powder, mix well and let it cool.

Cream the butter and sugar till fluffy and light. Add in the egg and continue to beat for a minute.
Sift together the dry ingredients, flour and Cinnamon powder.
Add in the flour and Prune mixture alternately to the butter mixture and mix lightly.

Spread the batter in the prepared tin and bake for 55-60 minutes till the toothpick inserted at the center comes out clean.
Let it cool on a wire rack.

You can sprinkle the icing sugar and cinnamon powder on top of the slices to make it more flavorful.
