Durian Cake @ Jane's Cake Station

Durian Cake @ Jane's Cake Station

Taking a short break from durians, sgdessert.com brings its 4th installation for this year's durian special - The durian cake from Jane's Cake Station. Located at the rustic Jalan Kayu, this shop is a rare find in an area more known for its prata.

This cake is made of one layer of fresh cream over the top and sponge cake which sandwich the durian cream. For those expecting solid durian pulp, you would be utterly disapointed. The filling tastes more like durian ice cream, slightly milky and creamy rather than anywhere close to the real thing. Overall I wouldn't recommend this to the true durian lover however I do understand that there is a group out there would like light durian desserts.

This durian cake is sold at $38 (8"), $58 (10"), $98 (12"x12"), $128 (12"x14") and $158 (12"x18").

No.43. Chocolate fudge cake from Jane's Cake Station

No.43. Chocolate fudge cake from Jane's Cake Station

Some may feel that the fudge is not chewy enough. I have to admit that it is not chocolately enough but if you recall my choc a bloc entry, high chocolate content results in the loss of texture (refering to Americano). The texture of the sponge is pretty similar to choc a bloc except that the fudge is more jelly-like than choc a bloc.


Frankly speaking, after trying all the 4 major players (Lana, Awfully, Jane's and Choc a bloc), apart from Lana having a slight rough texture and thinner fudge, I can't tell the difference in the cake sponges between the remaining 3. As for the chocolate fudge, Jane's is more to the jelly sort, Choc a bloc is more to the creamier sort, Awfully is in between the 2.


Anyway, from the Sunday Times...
"Contrary to its dark, heavy and decadent appearance, this chocolate fudge cake is light. It melts in the mouth and is not cloyingly sweet."
