Durian Butter Cake ~ 榴莲牛油蛋糕

 

It's the durian season again and I'm sharing with you a simple yet fragrant Durian Butter Cake.  This recipe does not use the traditional butter totally, in fact there is oil too.  Liquid oil tends to make the cake softer and stays moist longer as it does not solidify at room temperature.  This cake is soft and moist with a tinge of durian flavour and aroma.  A breakfast or Tea time snack for durian lovers.






Durian Butter Cake ~  榴莲牛油蛋糕

Ingredients
  • 150 gm unsalted butter
  • 190 gm plain flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 30 ml vegetable oil
  • 85 gm caster sugar
  • 3 'L' eggs
  • 130 gm pureed durian flesh
  • 4 Tbsp milk
  • a pinch of salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla
Method
  1. Sift flour with baking powder and salt.  Set aside.
  2. Beat butter with sugar till well blended, add in oil and continue beating till pale and fluffy.
  3. Add in eggs one at a time, mix well.
  4. Add in pureed durian flesh, mix till well incorporated.
  5. Sift in again the sifted flour in 2 batches, alternating with the milk.  Fold in till well incorporated.
  6. Pour mixture into a prepared 8.5 x 4.5 inch loaf pan.  Smoothen the surface.  Tap the pan to remove air bubbles.  
  7. Bake in a preheated oven @ 170 deg.C for about 35 mins. till golden brown.  Test with a skewer till it comes out clean.  Remove the cake from the oven, let cool in pan before unmoulding and letting it cool completely on a wire rack.

This choc-chip tea bread is not too sweet and is suitable for tea as the name suggests.  Added in some orange rind for more flavour, not forgetting the walnuts that made it nutty .... munch, munch!

Bunga Telang ~ Blue-pea Flower Snow Skin Mooncakes ~ 2013

For a change, I tried  using a premix to make these Snow skin mooncakes and for colour opted to go natural and use the Bunga Telang or Blue-pea flower.   Indeed the purple colour from the flowers was very distinct on its own but once mixed with the flour, I was rather disappointed. It turned out to be blue instead of purple.  Well, the consolation is that the colour is natural.   Taste wise, I would still prefer to make the Snow skin from scratch rather than use a premix.

Char Siew Pau ~ 蒸叉烧包

I have been itching to try out a Pau recipe and vaguely remember that I did make it once, long, long ago.  So I  got hold of my old file of recipes and finally managed to retrieve it.  I did it recently and must say that I'm satisfied with the result.  The texture of the Pau was soft and a bit chewy, wholesome and filling too.  Naturally, they didn't look so nice and round like the ones sold in the dim sum restaurants, but nonetheless I think homemade ones can be just as delectable as well.
