Durian was Roddy's [my late youngest brother] favourite fruit. He can spent a lot on this king of fruits and never failed to try out the popular species like Red Prawn, Musang, Koh Tsu Koon, Ling Fong Cheow, the species and the names are endless.
Since today is his lunar birthday, we had offering and prayers in the family home for him. The family being of Taoist faith, a variety of foods were offered during the prayers. To mark his 'birthday', I baked this Durian Cake for him [he passed away on Christmas Day]. Whether he gets to taste it, I don't know!!!!
This is my favourite durian cake recipe which always turn out good. So far, this cake usually gets a thumbs up. While baking you can smell the strong pungent aroma of the durian.

150 gm ripe durian puree [use the fine flesh species]
180 gm self raising flour or 180 gm cake flour with 1 1/2 tsp baking powder- sifted
2 tbsp milk
4 egg whites
- Line base and greased the side of a round or square baking tin [I sprinkled some flour around the sides - to get evenly brown sides].
