Dad's finally out of hospital! So I finally got down to making my mousse cake! Since mum celebrated her birthday in hospital, this should make her taste buds happy!
Got the recipe from Baking Mum's Blog and switched the fruit to Mango. Wheeeee! Good durian gives good durian mousse cake! This is the most satisfying bake ever! YUMMMM!!!
Durian Mousse Cake
Spongecake
Ingredients
4 eggs
100g cake flour
100g castor sugar
12g spongecake stabiliser
25g milk
90g melted butter
- Put all ingredients except butter into mixer.
- Beat on high speed until ribbon stage.
- Add in melted butter and mix thoroughly.
- Bake at 190 degree celcius for 20 min with an 8" round baking tin.
- Leave cake to cool when baked.
- Slice cake into 4 portions and cool further.
Durian Mousse Filling
Ingredients
450g durian puree (about 1 - 1.5 durian)
20g gelatine
450g whipped cream
- Boil puree and gelatin powder until gelatine powder dissolved.
- Leave to cool outside, do not cool in the fridge.
- Once cooled, fold in whipped cream.
- With the use of a cake ring, assemble cake and durian mousse together.
- Once assembled, store in fridge for 3 - 4 hours for filling to set.
I didn't decorate the exterior of my cake as I need to halve the cake for my colleagues. But you can decorate it with whipped cream on the exterior.
If you don't like durian, just switch the fruit. I tried Mango Mousse cake with the same recipe. Nice! Will post the recipe the next time I bake, 'cause it includes the Mango Mirror recipe for the top of the cake. I heard Honeydew Mousse is good too!
