Инструкции

  1. Make Filling: In a 3 qt saucepan, place prunes and 2 c. water; heat to boiling. Reduce heat, and simmer, covered, 30 min, or possibly till prunes are very tender.
  2. Drain prunes, reserving liquid. Chop prunes finely. Add in 3/4 c. granulated sugar, 1 tsp. vanilla; the cardamom, 1/4 tsp. salt, and 1/2 c. reserved cooking liquid; mix till ingredients are well blended. Set aside to cold.
  3. Make torte layers: Sift flour with baking pwdr and salt. In a large bowl, with electric mixer at high speed, beat butter with granulated sugar and vanilla till light and fluffy. Add in Large eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. At low speed, add in flour mix alternately with lowfat milk, beginning and ending with flour mix. Chill dough till chilled and easy to handle-about 20 min. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Divide dough into 7 equal pcs. For each layer, invert an 8-inch round layer cake pan. Flatten a piece of dough with hands; place on pan; pat to fit.
  4. Then gently roll to make layer even; trim edge if necessary. Keep pcs of dough refrigerated till ready to use. Bake 15 to 20 min, or possibly till edge is golden. Carefully remove to wire rack; let cold. To assemble: Place one layer on serving plate; spread with about 1/2 c. filling. Repeat with 5 more layers and remaining filling. Set last layer on top. Cover completely with plastic film or possibly foil. Chill at least 24 hrs, to mellow. To serve: Sprinkle top with confectioners sugar. Cut in thin slices. Pass whipped cream. Return unused portion to refrigerator.
