*DURIAN MUFFINS AND CAKE

Hello again folks :)
Today i was in the mood for Durian Muffins.
So i tried this yummy recipe from Here
Some of my friend introduces me to this site (Thanks Tarissima!)

This is a very versatile and fast recipe. Not only its moist and delicious because of the yogurt. The same batter can be used to make a Durian Cake.

Since i still have lots of Durian Flesh, I made a Durian cake :)

Guess what? I think i like the cake better than the Muffins :)
And the yogurt makes both of these Durian muffins & cake taste even better.

Ingredients:
- 100 gr Plain Flour

- 125 gr Cake Flour (I'm using Organic Pastry Wheat Flour)

- 1 Tsp Baking Powder

- 1/2 Tsp Baking Soda

- 200 gr Unsweetened Plain Yogurt

- 160 gr Durian Flesh (I'm using frozen durian, Then i puree the durian flesh)

- 85 gr Unsalted Butter

- 2 Eggs, Room Temperature, Well Beaten

- Almond Flakes for sprinkling (Optional)

Directions:

1. Grease/Line 12 muffins pan and small bundt pan, Preheat oven to 180 C (356 F)

2. Sift flours, Baking soda & baking powder. Combine yogurt and durian flesh/puree, Mix well.

3. Cream butter & sugar until light and creamy. Dribble in eggs slowly about 1 tbsp at a time. Beating constantly for about 2 minutes.

4. On a LOW speed beat in 1/3 of flour mixture until just combined. Beat in 1/2 of the yogurt mixture then beat in 1/2 of the remaining flour mixture. Follow by the remaining yogurt. Finally beat in the remaining mixture.

5. Divide mixture into muffins pan and bundt pan.

For Muffins: Sprinkle almond flakes on top. Bake 20-25 minutes.

For Durian cake: Sprinkle almond flakes on the bottom of the bundt pan. Bake 45-50 minutes.
