Step-by-Step Instructions for Passionfruit Lamingtons
- Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease an 8x8 inch baking tin. Line with baking paper for easy removal.
- Cream together 150g unsalted butter and 200g caster sugar until pale and fluffy, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add three large eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed until fully incorporated.
- Sift in 150g plain flour, 1 tsp baking powder, and 30g cornflour. Fold dry ingredients into wet mixture, then add 1 tsp vanilla essence and 200ml coconut milk. Mix until smooth.
- Pour batter into prepared tin and bake for about 30 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean.
- Prepare passionfruit curd by whisking together 100ml passionfruit pulp, 50g unsalted butter, and 100g caster sugar. Cook until thickened, about 10-15 minutes.
- Beat together 100g unsalted butter and 150g icing sugar for buttercream. Add 2 tablespoons coconut milk and mix until smooth.
- Once cooled, slice the cake in half horizontally. Spread curd and buttercream on the bottom half, replace top half and chill for 30 minutes.
- Coat the top and sides with a thin layer of buttercream for icing base. Chill for 15 minutes.
- Blend remaining passionfruit curd with 200g icing sugar for the icing, adjust consistency with water as needed.

Notes
For best results: Use room temperature ingredients, let cake cool completely before cutting, and avoid overmixing for light texture.
