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.

Mini lime marmalade chiffon cake

These little chiffon cupcakes were made with lime marmalade.  Other than orange marmalade I've never come across lime marmalade and so this went into my shopping basket when I was in Perth last.  It's slightly more sour than orange marmalade but it's delicious when you have it with butter or peanut butter slathered on a slice of freshly baked bread or toast!

Kai Chai Paeng aka Little chicken biscuit

K ai Chai Paeng or 'Little chicken biscuit' was one of my father's favourite item to take away whenever we stopped by Bidor, a small town south of Ipoh on the way to Kuala Lumpur, long ago before the North-South Highway came into existence.  Those days, Bidor's famous restaurant, Pun Chun ,was like a half-way house whereby travellers would stop by for their signature 'Ngap thui meen' or duck thigh noodles. Pun Chun restaurant is right in the middle of town along the main road and has been in operation for 70 years and their Kai Chai Paeng were of the thick, doughy type made with lard and some pork but now they also have the thin and crispy version. Another small town, known as Kampar which is nearer to Ipoh is also famous for their thin and crispy version of  Kai Chai Paeng.  However,  I'm not too sure which town is the originator of these 'chickenless', unique but absolutely aromatic 'Little chicken biscuit'.
