Duran Cake

I made this cake for my daughter 2nd birthday awhile back. Although, it was a very rich cake, but it very good because it light in sweetness. I love that in Asian cake, everything is very fluffy and light making it feels like you're eating cotton candy just with very little sugar. I can never get enough of this cake, especially
with whipped cream and duran filling! This cake recipe is not for the fainted heart that doesn't like the taste or the smell of duran. So thread with caution!

Ingredients:

Duran Whip Filling

1 Cup heavy whipping cream
½ Cup mash frozen duran
1 Cup powder sugar
1 Tbsp of clear gelatin
3 Tsp of hot water

Methods:

1. In a cool metal bowl whip the egg to foam.
2. While the heavy cream is whipping, dissolve the gelatin and powder sugar into hot water until melt.
3. Pour the mixture into the whip cream and beat until almost whip cream stage.
4. Add the duran.
5. Place in the refrigerator to set, about 45 minutes.

Whip Cream Icing

2 Cup of heavy cream
1 Cup sugar

The method is the same as the above just without the duran being added.
