What to do with your leftover durian? - Durian Cream Cake

Light sponge cake with layers of durian custard and cream

Durian season is here. Have you had any durian yet? Durian a.k.a king of fruits (likely due to being smelly / having thorny skin) is very popular in Southeast Asia, so much so you can find places offering cheap all-you-can-eat durian buffet. There's even a durian room package by Hotel Equatorial for guests to feast on durian and visit durian farm. If you and your family have had too many durian and want to know what you can do with the fruit apart from eating it on its own, you're in luck because here's a good durian cake recipe. 


When I first tasted this cake, I was like, Wow! Didn't know amazing things could be created with durian.

Moist Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Ganache

I have been quite busy for the past few weeks with work and preparation for my wedding so I didn't have the time to blog about what I baked two weeks ago.

I didn't take a picture of the whole cake but here is a picture of a slice

My sister just gave birth to another baby boy and she has been craving for chocolate cake. Since Mum is too busy taking care of her (my sister's) babies she got me to bake chocolate cake for the household and particularly for my sister.
