Blackened Durian Cake

Why, why, why??!!!!!

Again, I failed at my attempt to bake something with durian!!
Yet again!!!

This time, durian cake. Just a normal cake, with some durians as flavour. And still, I failed. Top and bottom of cake totally blackened out but the inner part is still moist, although pricking stick test yielded no cake mixture stuck on the stick. This is worse than my durian bread attempted last year. At least only the top was blackened on that.

My mom had commented, I should have added some baking soda to help the cake rise. Is she correct? Did the durian weigh the whole cake down? Is that the only thing missing? Are there anymore things that I overlooked?

I feel like giving myself another chance and make another one tomorrow. But I pity my parents. Unfortunately they cannot run away from eating the failed cake. And this is too bad to give away.

I am obsessed with the need to conquer this baking with durian. I think I will try again, probably day after tomorrow. If the second attempt fails too, then, I have nothing more to say. I surrender, with the white flag.

Sigh...pray it's only missing the bicarbonate of soda.
