Instructions

For the cake

  • Whip up the eggs with the sugar until you reach the ribbon stage. This happens when you can make a drawing with the batter on top of the surface and it doesn't sink back in immediately.
  • Mix the flour, salt and baking powder. Add half to the batter through a sieve or colander and mix it in using folding motions. Repeat with the other half. Always be careful not to leave flour at the bottom of the bowl where it tends to sink.
  • Mix in the evaporated milk and vanilla essence using folding motions with a spatula.
  • Pour the batter into a 20x30cm/8x12in baking dish or pan bake in a preheated oven at 180°C/350℉ for 20-30min or until you can insert a stick at the centre and it comes out clean.

For the passion fruit soak

  • Pulse the passion fruit pulp in a blender or processor to break the seeds and separate them from the juice. Pass through a sieve/colander and reserve the juice.
  • As soon as the cake comes out of the oven, pour the passion fruit juice on top. Help it absorb by making holes in the cake using a skewer. Let it absorb completely before adding the milk mixture.

For the 3 milks

  • Mix them and pour them onto the cake. Poke more holes if necessary and tilt the dish so it reaches every corner.
  • Let cool to room temperature and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or ideally overnight to give the flavours time to develop.

To garnish (right before serving)

  • Whip the cream with the icing sugar until fluffy. Spread it using a spatula.

For the passion fruit sauce

  • Cook the passion fruit and sugar in a small pan until it thickens slightly. Let it cool down completely and dot the whipped cream with it. Use a skewer to marble the cream and sauce together.
