Vegan Passion Fruit Cake

“Plot twist!” exclaimed my colleague in surprise after the first bite when he encountered rosemary and ginger alongside a distinct passionfruit flavor.

So what do we have here: a passion fruit cake with a soft and moist texture, dotted with crunchy seeds that enhance the taste of the fruit, and a spiced nut mixture scattered along the center of the cake.

Hand on heart: it turns out that Passionflower is quite spoiled because it took me a few attempts to reach the destination.

But as in life, determination and persistence pay off, and at the end of the process, I got a fluffy, stable, and insanely delicious cake.

The cake is easy to make, and success is guaranteed if you follow the instructions!

Enjoy, and let me know how it turned out 😋❣️

Notes

Freeze whole passion fruits as is, with the peel:

The fruit retains its texture when frozen and returns to its original state after defrosting.

Enjoy a frozen passion fruit as a sorbet:

• Leave it out of the freezer for a short time, or place it in the microwave for a few seconds (to make it easier to cut the fruit).
• Cut it in half.
• Use a spoon and enjoy.
