Ingredients:
For the Passion Fruit Cake:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 and 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup passion fruit pulp (strained)
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Chocolate Frosting:
- 1 and 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions:
For the Passion Fruit Cake:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add the softened butter to the dry ingredients and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, passion fruit pulp, buttermilk, and vanilla extract.
Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry mixture, mixing until well combined and smooth.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
Bake the cakes in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Once done, remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then, transfer the cakes to a wire rack to cool completely.
For the Chocolate Frosting:
In a heatproof bowl, place the semi-sweet chocolate chips.
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream and unsalted butter over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Do not let it boil.
Pour the hot cream mixture over the chocolate chips. Let it sit for a minute to soften the chocolate.
Add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt to the bowl.
Gently whisk the mixture until the chocolate is completely melted and the frosting is smooth and glossy.
Assembling the Passion Fruit Cake with Chocolate Frosting:
Place one of the cooled passion fruit cake layers on a serving plate or cake stand.
Spread a layer of the chocolate frosting over the cake layer.
Carefully place the second passion fruit cake layer on top of the frosting layer.
Frost the top and sides of the entire cake with the remaining chocolate frosting.
