Since the last cake roll I
made, I received lot of compliment about how pretty the cake is. So I decide to
make another one with leopard skin style. This time I made a chocolate sponge
for the roll to create the base of leopard skin. I had search over the Internet
for some leopard skin stencil and just realize there are million different
color combinations, so I decide to go with my own style.
You may wonder why durian and chocolate? Well I’m always a big fan of durian, it a one of those either you love it or you hate it food. I always have the theory that if you love durian, you would love blue cheese and also smelly tofu (one of my favorite Asian street food).
So I was craving for durian so badly on Friday and my mum was very kind and bought me a durian (Yay!). But it is really depend on luck when you try to buy exotic fruit like durian in Sydney. And this time, it doesn't turn out as great. It is quite an expensive fruit to have in Australia and I do not want to waste it and give it to my bin. So I came up and idea to put in cake roll as filling. Surprisingly it turns out so nice, as the durian was a bit dry before but when I mashed it and blend with cream it turn out just the right texture.
Hope you like this recipe and if you not a smelly food lover like I do, feel free to replace with any other fruit like chocolate & banana or strawberry.
