Durian Pound Cake

We love durian and we enjoy having them just on its own ^^ However when there is too much it will be great to have it in other form like this durian pound cake.

There is no durian season here. I baked this cake several months ago. It is time to share via this month Aspiring Bakers,Tropical Spiky Month which durian is the main ingredient.
