    • 225 gm plain flour
    • 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
    • ¼ teaspoon salt
    • 225 gm caster sugar
    • 125 gm butter cubed
    • 3 eggs
    • 90 gm milk
    • 1 lemon zest only
    • 1 cup passionfruit curd

    Instructions
     

    • Preheat oven to 160 degrees C. Line an 8 inch round cake tin with baking paper.
    • Add the butter to TM Bowl. Melt 3 min/Varoma/Speed 2.
    • Add the milk, lemon zest, salt, sugar and then eggs. Beat 1 min/ Speed 5.
    • Add the flour and baking powder. Combine 1 min/Speed 4.
    • Pour the cake batter into the prepared cake tin.
    • Use a teaspoon to drop passionfruit curd over the top of the cake. Take a skewer and swirl the curd gently through the batter. Do not over combine.
    • Bake in the pre-heated oven for approximately 50 minutes until golden and risen.
    • Allow to cool and serve warm with a dusting of icing sugar and an extra serving of passionfruit curd and chantilly cream.

    Notes

    The passionfruit curd will stay moist when the cake is cooked so when you test with a skewer ensure you test in an area without curd.

    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 🙂
