Steps

  • Preheat oven to 180°C and sift flour with 100g sugar.
  • Whisk egg whites until frothy, then add zest, juice, cream of tartar, and salt to form soft peaks.
  • Gradually whisk in 200g sugar until firm peaks form.
  • Gently fold the flour mixture into the egg whites in three batches.
  • Transfer batter to a 25cm pan and bake for 45-50 minutes until a skewer comes out clean.
  • Invert the pan immediately and cool for at least one hour before removing the cake.
  • For curd, cook yolks, sugar, juice, and zest over low heat until the mixture thickens.
  • Remove curd from heat, stir in butter, strain, and jar most of it while reserving some for the cake.
  • Whisk cream and vanilla to soft peaks and coat the top and sides of the cooled cake.
  • Mix passion fruit seeds into cooled curd and drizzle over the cake.
