Method

  2. Whisk together melted butter, eggs, vanilla and passionfruit to fully combine.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the dry ingredients except raspberries.
  4. Fold into the butter and egg mix.
  5. Spread half the batter into the tin. Top with half the raspberries and repeat with remaining batter/raspberries.
  6. Bake for 45min – 1hr or until a skewer inserted comes out just clean. Cool.

Cream Cheese Frosting

  1. Beat butter until pale and creamy. Add icing sugar and beat to combine. Add one cube of cream cheese at a time until fully combined. Add 1/2 tsp vanilla + zest of 1/2 lemon.
  2. Spoon over cake and spread to the edges. Refrigerate to firm up a little if it’s a hot day. Decorate with raspberries, coconut & passionfruit pulp.
