If you like passionfruit curd as much as I do you will love this cake. It is just soooo moist and sooo hard to stop at having just one piece! :) This can be made too using my lemon curd! :)

Erin says
Love this cake. It’s been in the oven for 45 mins and still really moist inside. Is that normal?
Help please
Thanks
thermofun says
Hi Erin, Apologies I have just seen this now. How did your cake go? Unfortunately all ovens vary considerably.
Beth says
Has anyone tried this with a gluten free flour (eg ALDI's)? Did it work out well?
Alexis says
I’ve made this a few times now, and it always gives me lots of favourable remarks , from people . The passionfruit curd on the side is a great addition.
Chris Harding says
This sounds so good, any idea how we could make it Diabetic friendly for my dear brother
Alexis says
What a beautiful cake, this was, with many requests to make again. I followed your advice and doubled the curd, so I could serve it on the side with some cream. Decadence for sure.
Beth says
Since passionfruit aren't readily available at the moment I am seriously contemplating using mango curd for this cake. Do you think there'd be a good flavour burst in that? And what about lemon curd?
thermofun says
Hi Beth, If my memory serves me right I'm sure I've made this with my lemon curd and it was great. I'm sure it would be delicious with mango too! :) Let me know how it goes. :)
Karen Harrison says
HI as above the passionfruit curd is AMAZING, so glad I took your advice and made a double batch.
Im about to make the cake, what size cake tin do you use?
thermofun says
Hi Karen, so pleased you love the curd! :) My apologies for not including the size of tin on the recipe. I have now added it! (22cm round) Enjoy! :)
Shelley Petruzio says
Making the Passionfruit curd now and have doubled the receipe, do you need to extend the cooking time as well?
thermofun says
No Shelley leave the cooking time the same. :)
Tania says
I could swim in this Passionfruit curd, it's divine! I'm so glad I made the double batch to allow for extra taste testing and also to serve a dollop with each slice of cake as per your recommendation. I can imagine it being lovely served as cupcakes too for a high tea, etc. Very nice indeed!
thermofun says
lol Tania - I just LOVE your term of "I could swim in it" - I couldn't agree more!!! :)
