Durian Butter Cake

What would you do when you have lots of leftover DURIANS? This is a back-post of what I did. I added them to my bakes to make a Durian Butter Cake.

I made some changes to a butter cake recipe that my friend passed me for this cake. It turned out very moist as I added loads of durian! Perhaps I should not have been so greedy to dump in so much durian...but then again, I'm not complaining as I simply love durians!
