Decadent Passionfruit Curd Cake

Estimated reading time: 5 minutes

Passionfruit Curd Cake is exactly what I want right at the moment. It has been a very busy week, so I'm ready to sit down with a slice of this decadent cake and a cup of tea. I would love it if you could join me!

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 is based loosely on a recipe 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'd like to encourage you to take a look at the Cooks Republic, I'm sure you will find plenty of food inspiration.

This simplified recipe uses a melt and mix formula so it is super easy to make even if you don't have a Thermomix, although I would NEVER make any curd without a Thermomix again.

Have you made Passionfruit Curd before in the Thermomix? You should also try my lemon curd recipe. I'm not sure which is my favourite, I guess it depends on my mood.

Do you have and excess of passionfruit? I love it when I am gift fruit from a friend when they have an overly abundant homegrown supply. I have a few delicious recipes I would love you to try, probably my favourite is the Simple Passionfruit Slice, it is so easy. The ingredients are really simple and it seems like it couldn't possibly work but it always does. Another is my Pineapple and Passionfruit Jam, I love this recipe because it reminds me of when I was a very young girl and visiting nan and grandma. They would always have multi fruit jams in the fridge. Never boring store bough predictable flavours.

This passionfruit curd cake is just as well suited as muffins, mini cakes or a big decadent cake. So is really is a versatile treat. If you're looking for a tasty lunch box treat, pin this for later 🙂

Notes

The cake can be baked in muffin trays, use paper liners. The cooking time will be reduced. Test at approximately 20-25 mins.

Try to avoid adding the curd too close to the edge of the cake tin. It will make it harder to remove the cake.

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.
