Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams unsalted butter
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 250 grams all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 6 tablespoons passionfruit pulp
- 60 milliliters whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and granulated sugar together using a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure everything is well mixed.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and baking powder.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients.
Stir in the passionfruit pulp and vanilla extract until fully incorporated, ensuring the batter is smooth and evenly mixed.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Optional: Dust the cooled cake with powdered sugar before serving for an elegant touch.
