Cook Time 45 minutes
Total Time 1 hour 5 minutes
Serving Size 4

Equipment

  • Measuring spoons and cups
  • Mixing bowls one large for wet ingredients and one medium for dry.
  • Electric mixer
  • Sifter or fine mesh strainer
  • Spatula for folding the durian into the batter.
  • Loaf pan lined with parchment paper for easy release.
  • Oven

Ingredients

  • 8 oz ripe durian flesh sliced into thin pieces
  • 1½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • 1½ tsp baking powder
  • ⅛ tsp salt
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • ½ cup sugar adjust based on your durian’s sweetness
  • 2 eggs use room temperature eggs

Instructions

  • Whisk eggs and sugar. In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs with sugar using an electric mixer until the mixture turns light and airy.
  • Incorporate oil. Gradually add the vegetable oil, blending until smooth and well combined.
  • Prepare dry mix. In another bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  • Sift dry ingredients. Sift the dry mixture into a large bowl to ensure a fluffy texture and avoid lumps.
  • Blend batter. Mix the sifted ingredients with the egg mixture on low speed until the batter is evenly combined and smooth.
  • Add durian. Gently fold the sliced durian flesh into the batter.
  • Fill the pan. Pour the batter into a loaf pan lined with parchment paper, topping with extra durian slices if you like.
  • Bake. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 45–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
