Durain Layered Cake


My Daddy & Mummy were talking about durian cake a few days ago,
they often patron this home baker.
I told them to buy some durian and I will make for them!
I actually woke up at 6.30am to bake again! HAHA!
I hope I will not do it again, because at such an early hour, I was still quite blur and got the measurement of the sugar wrong + beat the egg too fast!
So..the cake was not as moist & fine compared to my previous try.
Kind of regret..


Now look at some happy stuffs~
A slice for my man...
As you can see from the pictures, it was a gloomy day...



I love to see the innards of cakes!
It's just like unwrapping some presents,
not knowing how it looks like until you cut it open!



Special gift for my family...



This is how theirs look like..I really need to brush up on my creaming skills!
It may not be a pretty cake, 
but it's filled with my hard work and effort!






This is for my man...he loves it! Ate quite a lot! 
For the cream, I used Pour & Whip. It's good!! better than the other brand that I've used previously..
As for the Sponge cake, I used THIS RECIPE (Click to view)
I used 2 boxes for durian for these 2 cakes,
 removed flesh from the seed then puree 1/4 of the durian
 followed by mixing the puree with a portion of whipped cream, 
, the rest of the durian flesh were placed on this cream for the inner layer of the cake.

  2. Durian cake...wow!! My mouth can't stop watering! Actually I have never been such a huge fan of durians, but now I live in Germany I do crave for durians sometimes ;).

    Btw, do you play the piano pieces which are playing as the background music here? If yes, what a wonderful job! I love the main theme of Forrest Gump and I am still searching for the piano notes online but have got no success so far (probably because I am looking for the free one ;)).
