Recipe Card
ingredients
- 4 ounces (1 stick) butter, melted and cooled
- 4 ounces chocolate
- 5 eggs, separated
- 1/2 cup superfine sugar
- 1 cup flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon passion fruit extract
- 1 passionfruit, juiced
Method
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a mini loaf pan.
Step 2
In a double boiler, melt the chocolate and then set aside to cool slightly.
Step 3
Using an electric mixer, whisk the egg yolks and sugar until pale. Pour in the cooled, melted butter and continue mixing until combined.
Step 4
Sift the flour and baking powder into the egg and butter mixture, folding to combine, then split the mixture in two bowls.
Step 5
In the one bowl, add the melted chocolate to the mixture and fold to combine. In the second bowl, fold in the baking soda, the vanilla and passion fruit extracts, as well as the passion fruit juice.
Step 6
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks.
Step 7
Split the fluffy egg whites between the chocolate mixture and the passion fruit mixture then gently fold to combine.
Step 8
Alternating between the two mixtures, spoon them into the greased mini loafs pans and once they’ve filled the tins, take a skewer and swirl them from one end to the other to create the marble effect.
Step 9
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean.
Step 10
Allow the cakes to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 11
To garnish, top with more melted chocolate and serve with passion fruit curd.
