Passionfruit Butter Cake



It used to be very difficult to find passionfruit in the supermarkets. Even when I was able to find it, the fruits were incredibly expensive as they were imported. It was definitely too expensive to buy and try out recipes. These days, passionfruits are easier to find, I reckon they probably grow them locally now but they are still relatively expensive. The fragrance from this fruit is intoxicating (in a good way). As soon as the fruit is cut open, the sweet smell of the fruit permeated the air, tempting me to ditch the butter cake and eat the fruit then and there. But, no regrets baking this butter cake. Moist, fragrant and tasty. The taste of butter with a tinge of passionfruit and crunch of the seeds was truly satisfying. This will be on my cake list but it will be subject to the availability of the fruit. Indulge!
