A simple butter cake made with homemade passionfruit curd has a lovely tanginess from lemon zest and a gorgeous crunch from the passionfruit seeds. Perfect for afternoon tea dusted with icing sugar or an extra lashing of passionfruit curd.
Preheat oven to 180°C. Grease and line an 8 inch round cake tin with baking paper.
Combine flour, baking powder, salt and sugar in a large bowl. Mix to combine. Add eggs, milk, lemon zest and melted butter. Beat with an electric mixer for a couple of minutes until smooth and creamy. The cake batter at this stage will be quick dense and thick.
Spoon into prepared cake tin. Top with passionfruit curd and gently using a spoon, swirl and mix the curd in the batter until just mixed.
Bake in pre heated oven for approximately 50 minutes until golden and risen.
Allow to cool and serve warm with a dusting of icing sugar or extra lashings of the passionfruit curd.
