Durian Yogurt Cake vs White Chocolate Slices

This was another crazy baking weekend.

Yesterday, I made an eggless chocolate muffin for kids in my yoga class. It was the first time that I tried this muffin that was just made of flour, cocoa powder, chocolate chips, water, vinegar and sugar. I think it was a bit too moist but they kids love it ; )

Since it’s the durian season, I’ve been thinking about baking a durian cake for some time. So, yesterday, I bought two boxes of durian for $5 and they yielded half a kilo of durian flesh. I adapted a banana cake from Do What I Like blog. The whole house was filled with the heavenly aroma of durian 10 minutes into baking ; ) The durian cake came out moist and not too sweet. But I think the next time, I’ll put a bit more flour so that it’s not too moist.

My next bake was a white chocolate raspberry slice. Being a lazy baker, I never like anything that I have to bake twice or spend too long doing it. This slice had to go into the oven twice. Still, I decided to be a bit more hardworking and make it as I have a lot of white chocolate in the fridge. And I didn’t regret it. The slice was crispy at the top ‘cos of the almond slices and chewy throughout. I hope my colleagues will like it when I bring them to the office tomorrow.

I think I’ll take a break from baking in the next few weeks before I put on too much weight. I’ve still got to train for the Army Half Marathon.
