Durian Cake- Our Family Favorite!!

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) :-D 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

Line a sq tin with parchment paper. Preheat oven to 180C

Cut butter into small pieces, place in a stand mixer with sugar and beat until light and fluffy at med speed. Beat in eggs, one at a time, gradually.

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

Fold in sifted flour, roughly in 3 portions, adding a tBsp of milk after each addition.
*add more milk if the mixture is too thick.

Pour into prepared cake tin. Bake for about 40-50 minutes or until cake is golden brown and skewer/toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the middle of the cake.

There you go… have fun and happy baking!!

Some of you already know that I just started learning how to bake not too long ago… but I have been doing quite well. Nobody has had a tummy upset or choked because the cake is too dry.. :P So I suppose I can pass… and am slowly making improvements. 

So I’m planing to bake Caitlyn’s  birthday cake this year, and I’m  going to make it a 2 tier cake. A little over my head? Well yeah… maybe, but I’m determined to do it. If I can teach myself HTML, set up blogs and use Photoshop, I think I can and will be able to put together a 2 tier cake. 8-)
