Durian Butter Cake

CakeI have been having these durian cravings for over 2 weeks now. And until Friday after throwing a huge tantrum did hubby go get me my durians. Hahhahahahah....I know...I know...I am been an utter bitch. I'm sorry, dear for been such an utter pain.

Anyway, back to the durians, since I had lots of durians in the fridge.....I decided to make Durian Butter Cake and came across this simple recipe which will not drive anyone insane. It's pretty idiot proof.

Here's the cake right from the oven.


Caitlin who was just too anxious to have the cake. She loves cake just like her mummy.


So, since it looks like it's the durian season and if you are into anything besides just plain durian, do give this recipe a shot! Here goes the recipe.....

Ingredients: - 

- 250g butter
- 170g caster sugar
- 4 eggs
- 250g durian flesh
- 230g self raising flour
- 1/8 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda

1. Grease a baking mould. Preheat oven to 170C.
2. Beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in eggs, one at a time, beating thoroughly after each addition.
3. Stir in durian flesh. Fold in sifted flour, baking powder and soda. Mix until well blended.
4. Spoon batter into prepared mould. Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes or until cooked.

See???!!! It isn't that difficult, isn't it??? For those of you who has baked butter cakes before, all you need to do is use the same butter cake recipe but add an additional 250g to 300g of durian flesh into your flour mixture.

Here's a slice. Looks like any ordinary Butter Cake but it's yummilicious with durian.


Here's Caitlin telling you all that the Durian Butter Cake is AWESOME!! Kids don't lie.......



Have fun!!!!
