Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour three 8-inch round cake pans, or line them with parchment paper for easier removal.
1. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
2. Gradually add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
3. Sift together the all-purpose flour and self-raising flour in a separate bowl. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, folding gently to incorporate.
4. Stir in the dried coconut meat and lemon zest.
5. Pour in the coconut milk and passion fruit pulp, and continue to mix until the batter is smooth and well combined.
1. Divide the batter evenly among the three prepared cake pans.
2. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
3. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for about 10 minutes, then remove the cakes from the pans and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
1. In a medium mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sour cream together until smooth.
2. Gradually add the powdered sugar, continuing to beat until the mixture is creamy and well combined.
1. Place one cake layer on a serving plate or cake stand. Spread a generous amount of the cream cheese frosting over the top.
2. Place the second cake layer on top of the first and repeat the frosting process.
3. Add the third and final cake layer on top, and frost the top and sides of the entire cake with the remaining cream cheese frosting.
Slice and serve this delicious Passionfruit Layer Cake. Enjoy!
Tips:
- Make sure all your ingredients are at room temperature before you start mixing. This will ensure a smoother batter and even baking.
- Use fresh passionfruit if possible for the best flavor. You can substitute with high-quality passionfruit puree if fresh is not available.
- Grease and line your cake pans well to prevent the cake from sticking.
- When mixing the batter, be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to a dense cake.
- Let the cake layers cool completely before assembling and frosting to prevent the frosting from melting.
- For extra flavor, you can add a layer of passionfruit syrup between the cake layers.
This Passionfruit Layer Cake is a delightful treat that brings a burst of tropical flavors with every bite. By following these tips and the recipe, you can create a delicious and visually appealing cake that is perfect for celebrations or simply as a special treat.
