Passion Fruit Gateau🍊

Now that the baking bug has bitten me, I woke up early before a much awaited Sunday with my gal pals to make them a vanilla cake with a passion fruit butter cream frosting .

I love pairing passion fruit with this tea cake ( as this cake was referred to all through my childhood ) for its pleasing, yet contrasting tanginess.

Do sandwich the cake with the butter cream for the perfect gateau.

Ingredients:

Unsalted Butter – 3/4 cup
Granulated sugar – 3/4 cup
Eggs -3

All purpose Flour – 1 cup
Salt- 1/8th tsp
Baking powder – 1 tsp
Passion fruit pulp – 1/4 cup
Pure Vanilla extract – 1 tsp

Method :

Preheat oven to 175 C.

Cream butter, sugar , add eggs , add vanilla extract, add sieved flour, baking powder, salt. Add spoonfuls of passion fruit pulp until you get a drop in consistency.

Bake for 20-25 mins until done.

Passion fruit butter cream
