Some readers may be aware that I have been a food blogger since 2009. That’s a lot of eating, recipe development and recipe sharing!  During that time I’ve gotten to know quite a lot of the long-term foodies and food bloggers.  The recipe I’m sharing today comes from “The Cooks Republic”.Sneh makes the most amazing recipes and is one of the best food photographers I know.

I was looking for something special to make with the passionfruit curd I prepared last week. I remembered a delicious recipe Sneh has on her site for this passionfruit curd butter cake. The recipe wasn’t suitable for the Thermomix so I did a bit of experimenting so I could share a Thermomix version of the passionfruit curd cake.

I particularly like cakes which follow the simple “melt and mix” routine. Happily, that method worked perfectly with this cake. If you’re looking for a tasty lunch box treat, pin this for later 🙂
