Passionfruit Orange Blossom Vanilla Jelly Cake

Passionfruit Orange Blossom Vanilla Cake recipe

For quite some time now I have been meaning to make a cake with passionfruit. For some reason I always struggle when I bake with this fruit, so I decided to have a passionfruit experimental day of baking. The pairings; passionfruit lemon coconut lime, passionfruit lemon yoghurt and passionfruit orange blossom and vanilla.

All cakes were made with the same method just variations to the ingredient flavor pairings.

The lime cake – well the learning here is that passionfruit is not the most intense flavor. In fact the passionfruit was overpowered by the citrus flavors to become a soft background unnoticeable aftertone. Don’t get me wrong, this cake was nice but defeated the experimental purpose.

The Passionfruit lemon cake was ok as I upped the passionfruit amount in this cake, however the yoghurt didn’t produce the best texture of the cake I was looking for.

Lastly, after taking the learnings from the last 2 cakes I opted for the less intense orange blossom for the sweet floral notes instead of strong citrus profile. The vanilla also provided a lovely floral aroma that complimented the blossom but didn’t overtake the passionfruit flavor.

To be honest the only way I could really make the passionfruit flavor shine was to use passionfruit jelly crystals in addition to using actual fruit.
