Passionfruit Tea cake (cake de maracuya)

Sometimes I think I am different than others at my blog and kitchen in how I choose my recipes..

I usually cook or bake what the spirit asks me so sometimes I remember something or read a magazine or a book and voila!

This time it was passionfruit, I wanted to eat passionfruit and I found this cake that I liked so much with that layer of passion fruit and sugar and I did it last night.

In the morning the photos and now the post.
I even bought figs to make a cake that I have pending but it was passionfruit. that as I said can be frozen or fruit (Peru exports a lot of passion fruit) I always have frozen maracuya and berries. All year. You can make ice creams, mousses, cakes, muffins, whatever you want, what more precious fruit.

Passion fruit souffle (Souffle de maracuyá)

Also known as grenadilla, passion fruit is a tropical fruit with intensely flavoured slightly sour, yellow juicy pulp. I have to confess that I absolutely love passion fruit (aka maracuya) and in fact you can make desserts, tarts, ice cream, I had not made a soufle but the recipe enchanted me. Absolutely recommend. I always use frozen maracuya if you do not have fresh maracuya. It freezes very well.
