Durian Cake

When my cousin's family from Malaysia came for a visit, he bought 2 huge Thai Durians of which one was so delicious and the other is not quite. So, in the freezer it went for recycling. Made this cake ahead of the party and it froze very well. Picture was taken after it came out of oven and forgot to take a picture of the one that has been defrosted and drizzled with melted chocolate. The flavor was fine and ok for guests who have not tasted or do not like durian but for those who love durian, will suggest using the best delicious durian.

    looks perfect! I sometimes have trouble unmolding because I forget to grease the pans :) Looks like you've mastered the art of unmolding!

    the cake has to cool in pan to set then use very hot towel and let pan sit on the hot towel for 2 minutes. the cake will dislodge easily

    Lily,

    I made this cake today using the frozen durian from Thailand. The durian itself was so good, which helped the cake to be really yummy. Very "duriany" :P. We love it. Thanks for sharing.

    Rgds,

    Hi Lily,

    Bundt pans come in different sizes. So which is the size that you use? better still, perhaps you could give me the volume (capacity) of the cake batter.

    Thanks

    Lily,

    It is durian season in M'sia. At almost every street, every market, I can see durian sellers. The durian skin was also dump everywhere by irresponsible people... a bit shameful.

    I got abundant durian flesh supplies as my in laws has a few durian trees. The trees are yeilding fruits like crazy this year.

    Anyway, I baked my first ever durian cake with your recipe. I up the quantity of the durian flesh to 250g. It turn out to be so fragrant, so rich and delicious. Some of the flesh did sink to the bottom of the cake but it does not matter even a bit to me.

    Thanks for sharing.
