Super soft and fluffy durian cake recipe

Preparation time: 15 mins
Baking time: 80 mins
Serving size: 10 muffin cups

Ingredients

Durian batter:
4 egg yolks
35ml vegetable oil
50g durian pulp
50g cake flour
1/4 teaspoon salt

Meringue:
4 egg whites
40g sugar
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar

METHOD:
Separate the durian pulp from the seed and set aside
Carefully separate 4 egg yolks and egg whites
Whisk 4 egg yolks
Add 35ml oil and continue whisking
Add 50g durian pulp
Add 50g cake flour
Add ¼ teaspoon salt while whisking
Make sure all ingredients are thoroughly mixed. Set aside
In a clean mixing bowl, whisk 4 egg whites
Add 40g sugar in batches while whisking
Add ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar. This can be substitute with lemon juice or white vinegar
Whisk until egg whites reach soft peak consistency
Add meringue (preferably in three parts) into durian mixture
Fold to mix carefully
Tap to release air bubbles
Pour into a lined cake pan
Alternatively, we can also bake this in muffin cups for easier servings
I doubled the recipe to make 20 cups
After pouring the batter into the cups, run a skewer in circles to release air bubbles
Bake in a preheated oven at 150C for 80 minutes
Bake using the water bath method. Place a pan of hot water in the oven while baking. This steam baking adds moisture to the oven to prevent the cake from cracking and also to avoid the cake’s texture to become rubbery without moist heat
Use serrated knife to cut the cake. Saw very gently to cut through the cake without losing its airiness. If you don’t have a serrated knife, I highly recommend you to bake this in muffin cups so you need not cut prior to serving
