Sponge Cake with Durian Cream Cheese

I had one container of durian and had to think of ways to finish it. Since hubby had sore throat, I am the only one who has been eating the fruit. It’s not much fun eating durian alone so I decided to do some baking with it. Vicky requested a durian cheese cake like those sold in Secret Recipe (apparently, I she was dreaming because my baking skill is definitely not up THAT standard yet and I don’t know when will I ever reach there). Anyway, we can always do an adaptation, so this is my version of ‘durian cheese cake’. Hahaha….her comment “Not enough cheese”. Well, this is my first attempt and I didn’t follow any recipe in making the durian cream cheese mixture, so cannot expect it’ll be perfect loh….;p


Sponge Cake

Ingredients:

Sugar (130gm)

Egg (4)

Plain Flour (120gm)

Butter (80gm) – melted

Preheat oven at 180C

Method:

1. Beat sugar and eggs till it’s light and fluffy, ~2x its original volume.

2. Fold in the flour.

3. Mix in melted butter till combined.

4. Bake for 30min or until cooked.


Durian Cream Cheese

Ingredients:
Durian Flesh
Cream Cheese

Note: I didn’t measure the amount used. Just agak-agak…so, you can add either more durian or more cheese or both in equal amount depending on whether you like cheese or durian more ;p


Method:
1. Blend the durian flesh using a blender.
2. Pour the durian flesh into a mixing bowl.
3. Add in cream cheese and beat till both are well combined.

To assemble:
Once the sponge cake is cool, just cut it into 2 layers. Sandwich the durian cream cheese in between. Best served chilled so you can refrigerate it for a few hours before serving.
