Aunty,
This is shan.
I think there's some mistake in the ingredients.
There are 2 "cake flour" which 1 with 40gm & another with 200gm?

Mool said...

Hi Aunty Yochana,

Is the amt of cake flour 200gm or 240gm?

Do u think I can replace by mango, because my kids don't like durain?

Please advise. Thanks.

Regards.

Hi Aunty Yochana,

In the ingredients listed, there are a 40gm cake flour and a 200gm cake flour.

But under the method, u only sieve flour (step 2).
Do we combine the 40gm and 200gm together ?
Please advise.

Hi yochana
Thanks for sharing the recipe here.
May I ask ... in the ingredints section you have 40 gm cake flour and then another 200 gm cake flour.
Or should it be altogether 240gm cake flour?tia

Aunty Yochana said...

Hi,

Sorry for the mistake. The 40 gm. of flour is supposed to stir with the blended durian and milk mixture so that it will be easier to mix later on cos if it's too watery, you take a longer to mix and the durian might sink to the bottom.

everything4sweets,

I should say that each cake has it's taste. The chiffon is very light cos it uses cornoil while the butter cake is buttery and more heavy in texture.

Hi Yochana
Thanks for sharing this great recipe. Could you pls share what was the size of the tube pan you used? Was it an 8 inch tube? Do you think a 9-inch round will work as well? Appreciate any tips you may have.
Thank you.

Aunty Yochana said...

Hi Titiana,

I used a 9" tube pan.

Hi Yochana

Can i use more durian meat if i want to have a stronger durian taste?

Annie

Aunty Yochana said...

Hi Annie,

You can add up to 150 gm to 180 gm.
Too much will cause it to become dense.

Elaine said...

aunty yo. i did this today without using a tube tray but a springform cake tin.. and it cracked!! :( what happened?

Aunty Yochana said...

HI Elaine,

Cracked on top is quite a normal thing...as long as your butter cake is fine in texture and taste heavenly. Try using a cake ring the next round and see what happens. Please use eggs and butter which is at room temperture. I guess this will prevent the cracks on top.

Elaine said...

okies! thanks!! :D yes, it tastes really dense! i like!

Hi Aunty,

Aunty Yochana said...

Hi Joanne,

Any brand of fresh milk will just work as well...no particular brand needed.

Hi Yochana, I have an 8" tube pan, what adjustments do I have to make? Can I juz use the same receipe and same baking time?

Annie

Aunty Yochana said...

Hi annie,

Just use the 8" tube pan and while pouring and it's too much, just pour the balance into small cupcake mould and bake it as cupcakes.
