I recently baked exotic Mango, Coconut and Lime Loaf Cake and this an easy one-bowl Chocolate and Passion fruit Semolina cake, and this time I prepared ganache too :) now that's a lot of improvement in my baking thoughts and skills.
This cake turned out smashingly good, moist and luscious. It was baked to perfection, risen so well and the centre part did not collapse.
This Chocolate and Passion fruit semolina cake is heaven for chocolate lovers. This recipe is a keeper!
Notes:-
Instead of coconut oil use any flavourless oil.
Don't have coconut milk? use any other nut milk such as almond or hazelnut.
Want to make just an eggless cake? use normal dairy products instead.

DeleteUnusual combination. You are an amazing baker .This is an interesting bake.Thanks for the wonderful recipe.
ReplyDeletecomment disappeared so I'm carrying on ... Passion fruit was never something we had growing up so I always think of it as ultra exotic. I think we all have dips with our baking passion - I do love it but don't bake nearly as often as I used to. Life sort of gets in the way.
