Ingredients
Lime and passionfruit syrup
Method
1.Preheat oven to moderate, 180°C. Lightly grease and line a 10 x 20cm loaf pan with baking paper.
2.In a bowl, using an electric mixer, cream butter and sugar together until creamy.
3.Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in zest.
4.Lightly fold in flour with water until combined. Spoon mixture into pan, smoothing the top. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden and cooked when tested. Cool in pan for 5 minutes.
5.For the syrup: Stir sugar and lime juice on low until sugar has dissolved. Boil, without stirring, until light golden and syrupy. Remove syrup from heat and stir through passionfruit pulp.
6.Spoon syrup over warm cake. Allow cake to cool. Sprinkle with zested lime rind to serve.
Note
- Don’t stir syrup once it’s boiled – it may crystallise.
