(4) Pour batter into a rectangular tray 40 x 25 x 3 cmn shallow pan and bake at 190C for about 20 mins. Remove the cake from the pan and set aside to cool. Refrigerate the cake for 30 mins. so as to let it set before slicing it. The cuts will be neater this way.

wah! so so pretty! Is the flower real??? Sorry for asking such a stupid question.
Hi! Thank you so very much for your generosity in sharing the many recipes, your knowledge and expertise; and the beautiful photos with which you make us drool over daily *smiles*.
Appreciate the article about the Musso ice cream machine but can't afford it for now.
I read somewhere that you stopped or considering to not share recipes anymore; hope you will reconsider about this as your many students worldwide will be lost without their aunty Yochana.
Hi Serene,
You're so sweet. Thanks for the encouragement.

Hi VB,
The flower is real. We called it "Bunga telang" and the blue colour from the flower is used for making nonya kueh and nonya dumpling.
BTW, it's not a stupid question. It shows that you are very observant and inquisitive.

Kim,
It's by Alex Goh. His new book: Fruity Cakes.

Hi Aunty Yochana,
Sorry always dropped by here with lots n lots of questions:
For Step 2: Do we have to wait for the water to cool down b4 mixing it into the egg mixture?
Thanks for the advises in advance.
Regards.
Hi Mool,
The water is so little that as you stir it cools down as the durian will bring the temperature down.

Thanks Aunty for posting the recipe. Can't wait to give it a go. Just a question, what is butter cream? Is it the same as fresh cream?
Thanks,
May
Hi, aunty lucy, what is an optima flour?, if I don't have optima flour , can I used any cake box flour as like betty croker or duncan hines?, so sorry asking you so much question.
Hi Aunty Yochana
So where can we buy the flowers? I have some recipes using this flowers but didn't try as I don't know where to buy. And I'm surprise it's used in nonya dumpling. Just learn to make nonya dumpling this year.
Hi Wendy,
I don't know where to buy these flowers. I planted it in my garden.

Hi everything4sweets,
Optima flour is a sponge mix premix - flour, sugar and raising agents are all added in. No I don't think the Betty crocker flour can be used. Go to NTUC and you can find "bake king" brand.

HI May,
Buttercream is different from Fresh cream. Buttercream has butter in it. I have the recipe in my blog.

Thanks Aunty, will check it out.

Mama Mia ohhh your durian sponge cake look so yummylicious, me drolling already, am sending the recipe to bestfren he he he she can bake and I can't :) I see from your blog you are so sweet and nice sharing and helping out with the questions. Kudos to you , keep it up :)
Hi aunty,
I'm addicted to your blog now. I just came across it this week. It's diffciult for me to bake as I only have a microwave oven with convection bake function. It didn't turn out well when I tried to bake Lemon Yogurt Muffins. The muffins are dense, black on the bottom while the top are not brown. It's a failure. How can I improve? What is the proper way of folding? Thank you very much!
Rgds,
Mei
love your idea to but a piece of flower on the cake.
