Durian Pound Cake is an aromatic cake filled with the fresh smell of durian embedded in the moist cake. Durain is well known as the kings of fruits, and this exotic fruit brings out the flavor and richness to the cake. If you enjoy the fresh fruit of durian, then you would enjoy eating this cake. This cake is filled with bits and pieces of durian throughout the cake, but most importantly its aromatic smell can perfume any room easily. I love making this cake, but very well enjoy eating it because of its smell. This fruit is not like other fruit that just tastes sweet. Instead, durian has a smell that is not sweet, but a combination of different aromas. I know that many may not like to eat durians beacuse of its strong aroma, but you should all try out this fruit. Life is too short to not try the first time!!Ingredients:
1 1/9 cups butter
2 1/4 cups self rising flour
1 cup granulated sugar
4 eggs
2-3 cups durian pulps
1-2 tablespoons milk
Steps:
1. Mix the butter and the sugar until light and creamy
2. Stir in the eggs.
3. Fold in the flour. Mix well.
4. Add the durian pulps and mix well.
5. Pour into greased pan.
6. Bake at 350 F for 40-45 minutes.
Tips and Notes:
* This is the first time that I used self rising flour, and this flour is a simplified version of the combination all purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. If you do not have any self rising flour, you can off course use all purpose flour and add about 1 teaspoon each of baking powder, baking soda, and salt. However, I highly recommend that no salt be added because this can cause the cake to be too salty. I did not really like the self rising flour because it made the cake a little salty.
* Durian: I like to put extra durian in my cake so that each bite has a piece of durian. However, if you don't like too much durian, but just enjoy the smell of durian, then you should just use 1/2 cup of durian.
* Rememeber to beat the eggs before adding it to the butter and sugar mixture if you do not have a mixture.
