For a more intense durian flavor, consider using durian paste instead of fresh durian. Ensure your steamer maintains a consistent boiling temperature for even cooking. If you don't have a steamer, you can bake the cake in a water bath in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for approximately 50-60 minutes. Garnish with toasted coconut flakes or a light dusting of powdered sugar for an elegant presentation.

Steam the cake: Set a round rack in a steamer, large wok, or deep skillet. Fill with water to about 1/2 inch below the rack, and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Carefully place the cake pan on the rack and cover, tenting loosely with aluminum foil to prevent condensation from dripping onto the cake. (5 minutes)
