Ingredients

Cake

  • 150g butter, softened
  • 150g caster sugar
  • 3 organic eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 150g plain flour
  • 50g ground almonds
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1⁄2 cup passionfruit pulp
  • 100g mango cubes, cut into 2cm cubes

Icing

  • 150g butter, softened
  • 2 cups icing sugar
  • 125g cream cheese
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract with seeds
  • 3 tsp Fresh-as passionfruit powder

Decorations

  • 4 tbsp passionfruit curd (store bought)
  • Flecks of edible gold leaf

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 180oC fan bake. Line a 22cm cake tin with baking paper, or place 12 cupcake papers in a muffin tray.
  2. In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugar until pale, light and fluffy.
  3. Add the vanilla and then the eggs, one at a time, beating until combined between each addition.
  4. In 2 lots, add in the flour, ground almonds and baking powder. Add the yogurt and passionfruit pulp, and stop your electric mixer once all the ingredients are combined, do not over mix.
  5. Pour the batter into the tin / muffin holes and dot in the mango cubes, pressing them down lightly with a spoon.
  6. Bake for approximately 40 minutes if making a cake (or 25-30 minutes if making cupcakes) until golden in colour, springy to the touch and a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean. Allow the cake/s to cool for around 10 minutes before turning onto a cooling rack.
  7. Meanwhile, make the icing. In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the butter and icing sugar together until smooth, then gradually add the cream cheese, followed by the vanilla. The icing should be smooth, creamy and thick. Stir through the passionfruit powder at the end.
  8. Once the cake is cool ice the top of the cake with the icing (or pipe onto cupcakes) and decorate with passionfruit and edible gold leaf.
  9. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
