Equipment

  4. Heat the jam in a small saucepan over a low heat or alternately warm it in the microwave for a minute so it’s easy to spread and then pour it over the cake as soon as it comes out of the oven.
  5. Turn out of the ring onto a wire rack and let cool.

Notes

Tip
It’s not necessary to whip or beat this cake mix. It comes together so well from having the ingredients just combined. It’s very much like a muffin.
Variation
If you can’t find passionfruit in season then it’s OK to use tinned passionfruit pulp. Four passionfruit is roughly equal to half a cup of tinned passionfruit.
