We have differing tastes in desserts, but can agree on one thing: passion fruit. We've both spent time in Australia, and how can you survive Australia without developing a undying love for passion fruit? It's everywhere and it's delicious! Even if the insides remind me of frog eggs.
Passion fruit is not the easiest to find, but they were luckily at Kin's Farm Market in a mall across the street from my home. I picked up 6, and made a wonderful vanilla cake, with a layer of passion fruit and lemon curd as the filling, and a passion fruit glaze.
Heaven.
I'm glad you found your passion fruit! This looks amazing :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Your cake looks so light and I can almost taste it through the computer screen!

ReplyDeleteWhoops! :)
ReplyDeleteCake looks awesome. I've been looking for a good way to use passion fruit :)
I couldn't have done it without you, C&C ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks foodies at home! That vanilla cake is one of my favourites. It's from Rose Levy Berenbaum's Heavenly Cakes.
Thanks, Jess! This is definitely a good way. That and ice cream, which I'm dying to make!
Yummy! I wish we had passion fruit over here in Colorado. This looks so moist and flavorful.
ReplyDeleterecipe?
ReplyDeleteCan you maybe find it in a specialty store, or at least the pulp, Monet? Sad!
ReplyDeleteSorry anon I don't have much a recipe which is why it wasn't posted! The vanilla cake is from RLB's Heavenly Cakes, which due to copyright I can't share (publicly). The curd is a mix of several recipes, but basically 3-4 egg yolks, 1/4 cup sugar, 1 cup passionfruit/lemon juice, 1/4 cup butter. You cook the first 3 ingredients over a double boiler until thickened, strain, then add the butter and cool. As for the glaze, it's just passion fruit juice and icing sugar. Hope that helps a bit!
This looks delicious!! The cake looks so fluffy. That with the passion fruit and it must've been really good!

Thank you for the perfect birthday cake! The vanilla cake was the perfect compliment to the passion fruit/lemon curd filling (Yum!) with the glaze adding the finishing touch. I can't remember having a better dessert made with passion fruit - even in Australia! Love Mom
