Durian Cream Cake
Durian is my favourite fruit. To many, like my husband, they wonder why. They find it smelly and soft and some durian is even bitter. But for durian lovers, they will surely love this durian cake recipe. Please try to choose sweet durians so that you don’t have to add sugar to the durian puree.
One 9″ vanilla sponge cake
Ingredients for cream:
1 cup of durian puree (Remove flesh from pulp and place in the blender and blend until smooth. Add sugar if it is not sweet enough.)
600ml whipping cream
Just whip the cream and when it is firm and can hold its shape, add the durian puree and mix well.
Cut the sponge cake into three horizontally. Spread cream in each layer and cover the whole cake with the delicious durian cream.
*During durian season when durians are abundant, cheap and good, I will use 2 1/2 cups of durian puree and between the layers of sponge cake, I will just spread about 1 cups of the durian puree so as to maximize the durian taste. I will use about 300 ml of whip cream, whip it and then mix with the remaining durian pureee and cream the sides and top of cake.
