I shared the recipe for durian sponge cake in the previous post. This time I will challenge to use whipped cream to decorate it as a Durian Pandan Cream Cake for Father’s Day this year. This cake will require more preparation work, so I will draw the Father’s Day cake card and prepare some ingredients one day in advance.
Pandan Extract
To make pandan extract, it is recommended to cut the tender pandan leaves. So the juice will not taste so bitter with tender or small type pandan leaves. Filter the pandan juice into a container and cover the lid, put it in the refrigerator for one day to allow its essence to settle. The layering can be clearly seen when taken out of the refrigerator on the next day. Use a spoon carefully scoop off the light-colored part, or use a syringe to extract it. So that it will not disturb the essence at the bottom. Try your best to scoop off the light-colored part so that the rest is pandan extract. The light-colored pandan juice has a strong bitterness, so I only use it to water the flowers.
This time I use pandan extract because the whipped cream will not be able to mix with too much water. And if use normal pandan juice is not green enough. Those pandan extract that can’t be used up can be stored in the refrigerator for 4 or 5 days or frozen. However, there will be lumps when defrosted, which is only suitable for making such as steamed buns or bread that requires kneading. Not suitable for cooking jelly.
Durian Sponge Cake And Cream Puffs
Let’s bake the durian sponge cake, remove it from the mold and let it cool, and then put it in a container and put it in the refrigerator. Cold cake can make the whipped cream not melt so quickly when decorating. After preparing the cake base, let’s prepare the cream puffs. We have shared the recipe of cream puffs before, and the puffs made this time are relatively small. And I purposely made different sizes and some small strips. Of course, only a few decorations are used. Eat the rest by yourself. After letting it cool, put it in a container for later use. In fact, the cake base and puffs can be prepared the day before, so the next day will be easier.
Whipped Cream And Gelatin Powder
Since Malaysia is perennially summer, plus it is not made in an air-conditioned room. So it is necessary to add gelatin powder to help it slow down the speed of melting. But it will become very rough if you add too much, so the serving size is about 2% of whipping cream. The gelatin powder should be stirred in double boiling until it melts completely, and then let them cool down at room temperature, about 10 to 15 minutes. Touch and test the temperature with your hand whatever it is OK. The gelatin liquid can be added to the whipping cream at the stage where the lines appear. Stir at a low speed while adding it. It takes less than a minute to reach stiff peak form.
In addition, if you don’t use so much whipped cream, just buy a small box that is enough. Because it can only last about 4 or 5 days in the refrigerator after opening, there is a high possibility that it will not able to be formed if it is to be used again. The whipped cream can be whipped smoothly and normally can be successful in about 5 minutes, and it will be a problem if it can’t be whipped after more than 10 minutes. You can try adding some fresh whipping cream and then continue to whip, if it still doesn’t work, you can only use it to bake a cake.
Father’s Day Durian Pandan Cream Cake
I have tried to make several pieces of this cake, and I can only figure out the problem and try different designs. Finally, I got the look I was more satisfied with. This is my favorite design, you can also freely design your favorite composition.
Insert the hand-drawn Father’s Day cake card, and wish all dads a Happy Father’s Day! After the sponge cake is topped with whipped cream, the taste will become rich and smooth. The durian scent on the taste buds has a light natural pandan fragrance. Which tastes sweet and delicious and doesn’t taste greasy too. My family likes the taste so much.
If you like the Durian Pandan Cream Cake recipe we shared, welcome to share it with your relatives and friends. Have a nice day!
