Instructions
- 1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour three 8-inch round cake pans.
- 2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- 3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- 4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Stir in the lemon zest.
- 5. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Smooth the tops with a spatula.
- 6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Transfer the cakes to a wire rack to cool completely.
- 7. While the cakes are cooling, prepare the passionfruit curd. In a small saucepan, combine the passionfruit puree, sugar, egg yolks, and butter. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon. Remove from heat and let cool.
- 8. To make the vanilla buttercream, beat the softened butter in a large mixing bowl until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk. Beat until light and fluffy.
- 9. Once the cakes have cooled, level the tops if necessary. Place one cake layer on a serving plate or cake stand. Spread a layer of passionfruit curd on top. Top with another cake layer and repeat the process. Place the final cake layer on top.
- 10. Pour the passionfruit glaze over the top of the cake, allowing it to drip down the sides. Garnish with fresh passionfruit and edible flowers, if desired.
- 11. Serve and enjoy!
