- 4 medium eggs
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- vanilla caster sugar (150g)
- unsalted butter, melted (110g)
- plain flour (120g)
- whole milk (480ml)
- 1 orange
- 2-3 passion fruits
Recipe
preheat an oven to 160°C.line a deep square baking tray (20cmx20cm) with baking paper.
separate the eggs and whisk the whites to a stiff peak with a tiny drop of lemon juice.
beat the egg yolks with the vanilla sugar and 1 tablespoon of warm water for a couple of minutes… you’re best off using a hand mixer.
beat in the melted butter and zest of the orange.
mix in the flour then stir through the milk.
fold in the egg whites (in two batches), until evenly combined.
pour the batter into the baking tin and cook for 50-60 minutes until the top is golden and puffed and the middle is set but with a generous wobble.
allow to cool completely (at least 3-4 hours) before slicing into the cake and enjoy drizzled with passionfruit pulp.
