There are complex cakes that require countless, complicated steps and lots of tricks in order for them to work. And then there are cakes like this one. All that's needed is a couple of bowls and an electric whisk, and in just a few steps it's ready for the oven. This is a dense, rich cake that can also be made without icing. The flavour of passion fruit complements the cake perfectly, however, and adds a fragrant citrus note to this rich, sweet treat. It tastes wonderful as it is, but it's even better with a scoop of ice cream or fresh fruit.
