DURIANS!!!! It’s either you LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it or you’ll pinch your nose and walk away… But so happens in this house everybody loves durians (except for Master Tan) 
And I have been baking durian butter cakes like crazy because durians are abundance now. There are durian stalls in every corner here in Seri Kembangan! And there have been quite a few request for more and a few of my baking buddies have requested for the recipe… While some people are rather secretive about their recipes and wouldn’t want to disclose their best kept secrets…. But I want to share it with all my friends…(because I’m nice like that) 
LOL!! Actually it’s a very simple recipe of butter cake and just add durians or can be replace with bananas if you are not a durians fan.
DURIAN BUTTER CAKE
250g unsalted butter
230g caster sugar or fine granulated sugar
4 grade A eggs
250g durian flesh
250g self raising flour (sifted twice)
3-6 tBsp milk
vanilla essence

When it is well mixed, add in durian flesh and vanilla. Beat for a bout 2 mins, scrapping down the sides with a spatula.
