Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams All-purpose flour
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 120 grams Unsalted butter
- 200 grams Fresh durian pulp
- 60 milliliters Milk
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 170°C (340°F) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a medium bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time to the butter-sugar mixture, beating well after each addition.
Mix in the vanilla extract and fresh durian pulp, blending until smooth and fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture in three additions, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients to ensure an even batter. Mix until just combined—do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve the durian cake as is, or dust with powdered sugar for a decorative touch. Enjoy!
