Durian Cake Dilemma

I have a smile stuck on my face and I am feeling happy. Wonder what's the simile for happy.

My durian cake is ready. At least, this time I can call it a cake. It really looks like a cake and cuts like a cake. Smells a little like banana cake though and tastes too much of the bicarbonate of soda. Nevermind.

Lesson learnt:

Bicarbonate of soda works, but the amount must be lessen. One tablespoonful is just too much. Three quarters should work fine for this mixture. The cake rose perfectly and bake beautifully. No blackened top OR bottom. Perfect brown!

I could add slightly more durian to the mixture. I put three tablespoonfuls just now. Maybe a slight increase to get a more duriany taste. But of course, I have to be careful not to overdose it, lest it ends up like the first cake, which was more like Bingka-durian.

Other than readjustment to those two, the next attempt should yield a perfect durian cake. I am itching to try but it's getting a little too much. But there are still some durian waiting for me. My Durian Cake dilemma! A happy dilemma!
