Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Sponge Cake

Whisk the eggs with the sugar until a white, fluffy foam forms. Sift the dry ingredients. Grind the almonds.

Gently fold in the dry ingredients into the egg foam in two or three stages. Divide the batter into two parts, placing 350 grams (12 ounces) in each 16*7 cm (6.5*3 inch) ring.

Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 30-35 minutes.

Step 2

Make the Filling

Combine the passion fruit puree, pectin, and brown sugar in a saucepan, whisking until smooth.

Heat the mixture until it reaches a boil. Add the peach chunks and continue boiling for three minutes. Refrigerate the mixture for stabilization for 2-3 hours, then divide into three parts.

Step 3

Prepare the Soaking Syrup

Combine all the ingredients in a saucepan, heating until the sugar dissolves. Use immediately.

Step 4

Make the Cream for Assembling and Frosting

Beat the butter until pale and fluffy, then add the powdered sugar and beat again.

Switch to a paddle attachment, add the cream cheese, and beat until smooth. The cream is ready for use immediately.

Servings

Wow your guests with this Almond-Passion Fruit Cake! Serve it up with a few delightful twists:

🌿 **Fresh Fruit Garnish**: Enhance the cake's tropical vibe by adding some fresh passion fruit, peaches, or berries on top. The fresh fruits not only beautify the cake but also add a burst of fresh flavor.

☕ **Pair with Hot Beverages**: A hot cup of tea or coffee perfectly complements the rich and nutty flavors of the cake. It's an excellent combination for a cozy afternoon treat or a sophisticated evening dessert.

🥂 **Wine Pairing**: If you’re in the mood for something a bit more indulgent, pair it with a glass of dessert wine like Moscato. The sweet and fruity notes of the wine will elevate the cake to a whole new level.

Variations

Why let dietary preferences come in the way of indulgence? Here are some **gluten-free** and **vegan** variations for our Almond-Passion Fruit Cake:

🌱 **Gluten-Free**: Swap out the regular flour for a gluten-free baking blend. Almond flour and coconut flour make perfect substitutes. They will keep the cake moist and delicious without compromising on flavor.

🌱 **Vegan**: Replace eggs with flax eggs (1 tbsp flaxseed meal + 3 tbsp water for each egg) and use plant-based milk (like almond or oat milk) for the soaking syrup. Vegan butter and cream cheese alternatives work excellently for the frosting.

With these adjustments, everyone can enjoy a piece of this heavenly cake! 🌟

Faq

  • Why didn't my cake rise properly?

    Make sure your eggs are whipped to a frothy consistency and gently fold in the dry ingredients to maintain the air. Also, check your baking powder's expiration date!

  • Can I substitute regular sugar for brown sugar in the filling?

    Brown sugar adds a deeper flavor and helps with the caramelization of the fruits, but in a pinch, you can use regular sugar.

  • How can I achieve a smooth and even frosting?

    Let your butter and cream cheese sit at room temperature before mixing. Use a metal spatula for spreading, and dip it in warm water to smooth out the frosting.

  • Can I use frozen fruit for the filling?

    Yes, frozen fruits are a great alternative, but make sure to defrost and drain them properly to avoid excess moisture in the filling.

  • What's the best way to store this cake?

    Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will stay fresh for up to five days, and you can also freeze it for up to a month.

  • How do I ensure my cake layers are even?

    Use a kitchen scale to divide the batter equally between the pans. Also, consider using a serrated knife to level the cake tops after baking.
