Time flies and it was 12 months ago that i baked a durian cake. Last year this time, my aunt ivy requested for a durian cake, and this year she requested the same birthday cake. T was asking why the same cake, and my aunt gave a very good answer "... cos this is the durian season, and we don't get durians during other birthday month(s)"!
Basic Spongecake

4 eggs
80g sugar

1. Sift flour and set aside.
2. Whisk eggs, sugar, vanilla essence and ovalette at high speed until light and fluffy (ribbon stage). When ready, whisk another 1 to 2 mins at low speed to stabilise the air bubbles.
3. Gently fold in sifted flour in 3 batches.
4. In a separate bowl, stir oil and milk with a few spoons of flour batter until well mixed. Thereafter pour oil/milk mixture into remaining flour batter until well mixed.
5. Pour batter into lined 7" baking tin and give it a few bangs to release any bubbles in the batter.
6. Bake at pre-heated oven at 180 deg C for 30 mins or until skewer inserted into cake comes out clean.
7. Remove the cake immediately from baking tin, and allow it to cool down.

Hi, I was looking for a durian cake recipe and found your recipe here. As I was reading through, I realised that 250g durian flesh, pureed unaccounted for... There's a part that required only 70g of it. Can you please explain? Thanks!
