This Passionfruit Yoghurt Cake is a moist, fragrant dessert with a perfect balance of tangy passionfruit and creamy yoghurt. Topped with a glossy passionfruit icing, this cake is a tropical delight for any occasion.

Ingredients

¾ cup (6 fl oz) vegetable oil (preferably olive oil)

2 large eggs

¼ cup passionfruit pulp (about 2–3 passionfruits)

1 cup thick natural yogurt (such as Greek yogurt)

1 cup caster sugar (superfine sugar)

2 cups (10.6 oz) self-rising flour

¼ cup passionfruit pulp

Approximately 3 tablespoons icing sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) with a fan. Grease a ring cake pan with butter or oil and lightly coat it with flour.
  2. Prepare the Cake Batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, eggs, passionfruit pulp, yogurt, and caster sugar until smooth and fully combined.
  3. Sift the Dry Ingredients: Sift the self-rising flour into the wet mixture. Gently mix until a smooth batter forms. Be careful not to overmix.
  4. Bake the Cake: Transfer the batter into the prepared ring pan. Bake for 35 minutes, or until a cake tester comes out clean.
  5. Cool the Cake: Let the cake rest in the pan for 5 minutes, then invert it onto a wire rack to cool for 20 minutes.
  6. Prepare the Icing: Mix passionfruit pulp and icing sugar until smooth and slightly runny for drizzling.
  7. Drizzle the Icing: Once the cake has cooled, drizzle the passionfruit icing over the top.
  8. Serve: Slice the cake and serve with a cup of tea or coffee!

Notes

Add shredded coconut to the batter or as a topping for a tropical twist.

For extra flavor, incorporate lime zest into the batter.

Top with fresh slices of passionfruit or tropical fruits like mango or pineapple for decoration.
