Durian Cake

I got this recipe from Chin Yee... and it turns out that its actually quite a nice cake... albeit buttery (never said it was bad though). So much for trying to go to the gym haha...

Ingredients:
To make the cake
180g of sugar
120g of butter
2 eggs
10ml of vanilla extract
190g of flour
8g of baking powder
120ml of milk

To make the filling
400g of whipping cream/thickened cream
450g of durian puree (blended)
150g of icing sugar

To make decoration
200g of whipping cream
150g of icing sugar

Steps:
Making the cake
1) Combine the butter and sugar and mix till smooth. Then add the eggs into the mixture one at a time. Stir in the vanilla extract. Then while mixing, add in the flour and baking powder.
2) Stir in the milk and mix till smooth.
3) Prepare the oven at 180 celcius and using a 8 inch round cake tray, bake in 2 batches (or just cut in half if lazy)
4) Should be done in about 30-40mins. Test the cake by poking the middle with a fork (should come out clear)

Making the filling
1) Beat the whipping cream and icing sugar together till stiff and then add the durian puree.
2) Mix in carefully then refridgerate till the mixture thickens.
3) Sandwich the cream in between the two layers of cake that were made.
4) Use the remainder of the filling as a decoration as required.

Making the topping
1) Whip the cream and icing sugar until stiff... then top the cake with icing mixture.

**Tastes better when it is refridgerated and hardened as its not as sweet... Combine with tea and coffee!! And ITS delicious.
