White Chocolate & Passion Fruit Cake

Tick the box if you have the following at home:

- A packet of passion fruits that you bought thinking that you will use them but you never did

- A chunk of white chocolate that you think you will like to bake with someday but never do

- A picnic to go to to support the local LGBT (Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals and Transgender) @ The Pink Dot

Yup. That totally sums but my Saturday. So what I did? I baked a White chocolates and Passion fruit butter cake. Actually this was suppose to be a muffin recipe but really... would you wanna be peeling muffin liners off a muffin when you can just carve into a cake with nothing more to throw later at a picnic?

Anyway this is definitely a keeper. One of those very straight forward wet ingredient into dry ingredient kind of thing. I've tweaked the recipe a little to suit my own taste and I sincerely suggest that chopping the white chocolates a little bit more finer, if you do not want to induce instant diabetic attack... that's is if there's such a thing. Not a big fan of white chocolates... nooooo :(

White Chocolate & Passion Fruit Loaf Cake

2 cups Plain Flour
1 tsp Baking Powder
1/2 tsp Baking Soda
100g White Chocolate, finely chopped
1/3 cup caster sugar
1 tsp Salt

125g Butter, Melted
1/3 cup Milk
2 eggs
1/3 cup Passion fruit pulp
1 tsp Vanilla extract

Start with preheating oven to 170 degree Celsius, and line a loaf tin with foil. In a mixing bowl sift the flour, Baking powder and soda. Add in the chocolate, sugar and salt, stir combine and make a well in the centre and set aside. In another bowl, mix together the rest of the wet ingredients till well combined. Pour the wet batter into the dry ingredients and mix together, try to do it quick and not over mixing (magic whisk is the best tool here). Pour batter into the prepared loaf tin and bake for 40-50 minutes.

Passion fruit Glace

1 cup of icing sugar, sifted
1/4 cup of Passion fruit pulp
1-2 tsp water

While cake is baking, do the glace by mixing all the ingredients together. You may not need the water at all if the glace is spreadable already. Once cake is out of the oven, pour the glace over the cake and leave to cool completely.
