Equipment
- Mixing bowls
- Electric mixer or whisk
- Rubber spatula
- Round cake pans (8-inch)
- Offset spatula for frosting
Ingredients
- 2 cups vanilla cake mix
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
- 3 large eggs
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup passion fruit pulp
- 8 ounces cream cheese (room temperature)
- 1 cup whipped cream
- 1 cup whipped cream
- 1/2 cup passion fruit seeds
- q.s. fresh mint leaves for decoration
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease two round cake pans with butter and dust them with flour.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Alternate adding the vanilla cake mix and flour to form a smooth, soft dough.
- Divide the batter evenly between the pans and bake for 25-30 minutes.
- While the cakes cool, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
- Fold in the passion fruit pulp, followed by the whipped cream to keep the filling light.
- Place one cake layer on your serving plate and spread the passion fruit filling evenly over the top.
- Carefully place the second cake layer on top. Cover the entire cake with whipped cream and smooth it out.
- Sprinkle the passion fruit seeds on top and garnish with fresh mint leaves.
Notes
For best results, use room-temperature ingredients for smoother mixing. If you can't find fresh passion fruit, store-bought passion fruit pulp works just as well. Consider making the cake components separately and assembling closer to serving time to keep everything fresh. To enhance the tropical flavor, drizzle passion fruit syrup over the cake layers before adding the filling.
