Ingredients:
For the Cake:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup mango puree (from about 2 ripe mangoes)
1/4 cup passionfruit pulp (from about 4 passionfruits)
Zest of 1 lime
For the Frosting:
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 cups powdered sugar
1/4 cup mango puree
2 tablespoons passionfruit pulp
Zest of 1 lime
Fresh mango slices and passionfruit seeds for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan, or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until well combined. Add the vanilla extract and mix until incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Fold in the mango puree, passionfruit pulp, and lime zest until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
While the cake is cooling, prepare the frosting. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, mango puree, passionfruit pulp, and lime zest, mixing until smooth and creamy.
Once the cake has cooled completely, spread the frosting evenly over the top and sides of the cake.
If desired, garnish the cake with fresh mango slices and passionfruit seeds for an extra tropical touch.
