Prep Time:10 minutes
Cook Time:1 hour 10 minutes

Ingredients

loaf cake:

  • 175 grams butter - at room temperature
  • 175 grams castor sugar
  • 3 free-range eggs
  • 90 grams Greek Yoghurt
  • 60 grams passion fruit/granadilla curd
  • zest of 1 lemon
  • 200 grams self-raising flour sifted

icing/ frosting:

  • 1/2 cup icing sugar
  • 1/4 cup 60ml passion fruit curd

Instructions

  • Make the passion fruit curd in advance as per my recipe above.
  • Preheat the oven to 150C / 300F and line a loaf tin with baking paper.
  • Beat the butter and sugar in the stand mixer bowl until light and fluffy. Add each egg one at a time ensuring that its well incorporated before adding the next. Add the lemon zest and mix.
  • Add the yoghurt and passionfruit curd and briefly mix to combine. While the mixer is on low add the sifted self-raising flour and mix briefly. Remove the bowl and scrape it down with a spatula. If necessary finish off the final mixing by hand.
  • Tip the cake batter into the loaf pan, even it out, and bake for 65 - 75 minutes and until done.
  • To make the icing, mix the passionfruit curd and icing sugar together, adding a tablespoon or 2 of water to loosen it. You want it to be the consistency that it drips down the cake but not too runny.
  • Pour the icing over the cake when it has cooled and serve with fresh cream.

Notes

Make the granadilla/passion fruit curd in advance. Any leftovers can be stored in the fridge or freezer.
Store any leftover cake in a sealed container. It should keep for 3-4 days. The iced cake can also be frozen.
