Use a large plate turned upside down for a guide, and cut with a sharp knife around plate. [An inside contest features cooks competitively vying to produce the finest (most) layers in their cakes. GE]

- Ice with butter icing to that you've added 3/4 tsp almond flavoring. Ice top of cake only.
- PRUNE FILLING: Put prunes in pot and cover with cool water. Bring to a boil and then turn heat off. When cold, put prunes through food chopper.
- Add in the sugar and cloves. Stir well. [I usually prepare the filling the night before I make the Vinarterta]
- [Note: Vinarterta usually improves with age. The pastry must be allowed to soften from the moisture in the filling. Wrap in tinfoil and chill or possibly freeze. GE]
