Directions

I’m already hungry!

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C.
2. In a large mixing bowl add the olive oil, sugar, vanilla, lemon zest, and whisk until combined.
3. Add the eggs and whisk until smooth.
4. Fold in the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and sea salt, until almost combined.
5. Gently stir through the yogurt, lemon juice, and passionfruit pulp until just combined.
6. Pour the mixture into a loaf tin. (roughly 31 cm)
7. Bake at 180°C for about 45-50 minutes.

While the cake is baking let’s make the passionfruit glaze:

1. In a small bowl add the icing sugar, lemon juice, olive oil, passionfruit pulp.
2. Whisk until smooth.

Before serving:

1. Once the cake is baked, remove it from the oven, and while it’s still hot pour over three-quarters of the passionfruit glaze.
2. Run a knife around the edge of the cake creating space so the glaze can soak in around the edges.
3. Allow the cake to rest in the tin and soak up the glaze for 30 to 60 minutes.
4. Then remove it from the tin and let it cool completely.
5. Once is cooled smear the top of the cake with mascarpone and drizzle the remaining quarter of the glaze.

So Delicious and perfectly moist!
