Passionfruit and Greek yogurt cake (Cake de maracuya y yogurt griego)

Hello to all again with much love.

The weather lowering a bit the heat which is very nice, and last Saturday we went to the beach .

I think about three years I didn't go to the beach and It was beautiful. (We went only by the day)

Valparaiso and Viña del Mar)

In the evenings I already feel that autumn is coming (for many of you the Spring)

It refreshes a lot at night!

A few days ago I made this cake and many know that one of my favorite fruits is passionfruit (aka maracuya).

As always you can use fresh or frozen passionfruit. I always have frozen. When you buy fresh passionfruit it ripens very quickly!

If you find frozen passionfruit , the Peruvian is so good.
