Passion Fruit Loaf Cake

Step by step

1. 1

   Cut the passion fruit open on a board and scoop the pulp into a bowl. Then put it in a blender along with the water. Blend for 3 to 4 minutes.

   
2. 2

   Strain the juice into another container and separate the seeds. Set aside both the juice and the seeds (don't throw them away).

   
3. 3

   Take the loaf pan, butter it and flour it. Keep the pan in the freezer for now.

   
4. 4

   In a bowl, add the butter at room temperature along with the sugar. Beat well for several minutes. Then add the eggs one at a time, beating between each addition.

   
5. 5

   Add the flour and the baking powder, preferably through a sieve. Add a teaspoon of the passion fruit seeds. Mix well, helping yourself with a spatula so no unmixed flour is left on the sides.

   
6. 6

   Once the ingredients are combined, pour the batter into the pan. Tap the pan lightly on the counter to even it out and avoid air pockets inside. Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 45 to 50 minutes.

   
7. 7

   Once the baking time is up, take the loaf cake out and let it cool at room temperature for about an hour.

   
8. 8

   For the icing, pour the powdered sugar into a bowl and add a little of the passion fruit juice. Stir well. Adjust if needed until you get a thick consistency.

   
9. 9

   Pour the icing over the top of the loaf cake. If needed, spread it with a utensil. Let it dry for a few hours until the icing hardens, and it will be ready to eat.
