Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line the base of a 9-inch round cake pan with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Add the grated ginger root and mix well.
- Crack the eggs into the bowl one at a time, beating well after each addition to ensure the mixture is smooth and well-combined.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the self-raising flour and all-purpose white wheat flour. Ensure there are no lumps.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, gently folding them in using a spatula or wooden spoon. Mix until the batter is just combined; avoid overmixing.
- Gently fold in the passionfruit pulp, making sure it is evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it out evenly.
- Place the cake pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the teacake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- In a small bowl, mix the powdered sugar with a small amount of water (1-2 tablespoons) to form a thick but pourable glaze.
- Once the cake has cooled completely, drizzle the powdered sugar glaze over the top of the cake.
- Allow the glaze to set for a few minutes before slicing.
- Serve and enjoy your Passionfruit and Ginger Teacake with a cup of tea or coffee!
Tips:
- Using fresh ginger root will give the cake a more vibrant and authentic flavor compared to ground ginger.
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before you start baking for a smoother batter and better rise.
- Carefully sieve the passion fruit to remove the seeds if you prefer a smoother texture in your cake.
- To enhance the passion fruit flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of passion fruit juice in the batter.
- Cool the cake completely before icing it with the powdered sugar glaze to avoid the glaze melting and becoming too runny.
