Using durian to concoct your fruit cake is not new for most baking enthusiast in Asian region itself since durian fruit itself is quite popular in that region. However durian is not anyone's cup of tea as it has a stinky smell or strong odor that not everyone can bear with. Though it has a strong odor, the flesh of the fruit is sweet and rich with a kind of exotic flavor that cannot be found in any other fruit around the round. Opening the fruit itself from its husk is definitely not easy as its skin is spiky. If not careful, you may ended up injuring your hand. However you can buy those durian fruits that are readily packaged, without having the need to open up the fruit yourself. The fruit although rare or difficult to be found in region like North America or Europe, you may be lucky enough to find them somewhere in areas where Asian lives such as Chinatown. Before you try this recipe, make sure you that you like to eat durian itself first. Else you will likely throwing the cake away.
