The other day, I had a good reason for baking a cake. Somehow, I didn’t really feel like chocolate (still not quite sure how that could happen, but nevermind…). We did, however, have lots of nice sprayfree lemons in the fridge. So I decided on lemon, passionfruit and preferably white chocolate for the flavours. A quick search led me to this recipe. Here is the result:

I followed the recipe exactly, with the one exception that I used preserved passionfruit (it’s not exactly passionfruit season right now). I could only find preserves that had sugar added, so I left out the sugar in the passionfruit topping.

I was very happy with the result. I think this was the first time that I managed to make a nice fluffy sponge cake. Now I just need to practise cutting sponges in half horizontally and piping pretty chocolate lace thingies :)
