Durian cake

• Preheat oven to 340°F. Grease and line a 9” baking tin.
• Add butter and caster sugar to a large bowl. Beat until creamed. The mixture should have turned pale in color.
• Continue beating the mixture, adding one egg at a time until they are all well combined.
• Use a spoon to stir in the durian and milk. 
• Sift in the flour, baking powder, and bicarb soda. Fold the dry ingredients until fully incorporated into the mixture.
• Scoop batter into a 9” baking tin and bake for 40-50 minutes until cooked or until a skewer inserted into the cake comes out clean.
• Allow the cake to cool for 5 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely. Slice the cake into thirds and ice the top of each layer.

To make the icing

• Beat the sugar and butter with an electric mixer until combined. Start the mixer on a low speed to avoid a mess.
• Add vanilla and milk and continue beating until smooth and well combined. If the frosting is a little dry, keep adding a small amount of milk at a time until it reaches a spreadable texture.
