Step-by-Step Process of Making Chocolate Passion Fruit Layer Cake

Step #1

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Butter and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.

Step #2

Take a large bowl, and whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step #3

In another bowl, mix the buttermilk, oil, egg, and vanilla extract.

Step #4

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until fully combined.

Step #5

Add slowly boiling water and mix well. The dough will be very smooth.

Step #6

Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step #7

Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove them to cool completely on a wire rack.

Step #8

To prepare passion fruit filling, put passion fruit pulp, sugar, cornstarch, butter, and egg yolks in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon.

Step #9

Remove the pan from the heat and allow the passion fruit filling to cool to room temperature.

Step #10

To make the chocolate ganache, bring the heavy cream to a boil in a small saucepan. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the chocolate chips until they have melted and the mixture is smooth.

Step #11

To assemble the cake, place one cake layer on a serving dish or cake stand. Spread the passion fruit filling evenly over the top of the cake layers.

Step #12

Place the second layer of cake on top of the passion fruit filling. Pour the chocolate ganache over the top of the cake, spreading it to the edges and letting it drip down the sides.

Step #13

Place the cake in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving
