This is a beautiful little tea cake to share among friends. I first ate this cake at a family friends home for morning tea a few years ago and have been baking it ever since. It is just so simple and sweet. I love the different textures of the coconut, passionfruit pulp and soft sponge cake, all combining perfectly in your mouth as you take the first bite. The mixture of textures, flavours and the hot sauce, balances this cake perfectly.

Cake:
- 170g raw sugar
- 120g butter
- 150g SR flour
- 50g desiccated coconut

- whipped cream, to serve (optional)
- 170g tin passionfruit pulp
- 50g water

Hello Yasmin, and thanks for stopping by my blog! Your blog is quite lovely and I love that citrus header! I, too, love citrus! Your recipes look delicious! How long have you been blogging and where do you live? Are you working or retired? Perhaps you work with food and are a chef or a cook? I loved watching the David Attenbourough documentaries, I don't think he's made any recently, though. I see you like the vampire literature, you may like Anne Rice's vampire Lestat series, those were set in New Orleans and quite good. Wonder Bread was invented by Elmer Cline and introduced in 1921.
ReplyDeleteI love sauce with sweets. Looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteWow! I love all of the tropical flavors in this cake!
