Passionfruit Yogurt Loaf
Description
The Passionfruit Yogurt Loaf features a blend of passionfruit puree, plain full-fat yogurt, and avocado oil, which work together to create a moist and flavorful cake. The recipe uses cake flour, baking powder, and baking soda to achieve a soft, tender crumb, and lemon zest infuses gentle citrus brightness. The method involves folding dry ingredients into wet to avoid overmixing, preserving a delicate texture. Baking at 350°F for about an hour yields a loaf with a slight golden crust and clean crumb.
Its tropical passionfruit flavor is enhanced by vanilla extract and a touch of sweetness, balanced by the yogurt's tang. This loaf can be enjoyed sliced for breakfast, afternoon tea, or a light dessert. It pairs well with butter or cream cheese spreads, highlighting the fruity notes.
If using fresh passionfruit puree instead of store-bought sweetened puree, adding cornstarch prevents excess moisture, and increasing sugar balances tartness. Cooling the loaf on a wire rack prevents sogginess by allowing steam to escape, maintaining the loaf's texture.
Ingredients
- 3 egg large
- 60 ml avocado oil
- 65 g granulated cane sugar * see note below
- 180 ml PLAIN yogurt full-fat
- 120 ml passionfruit puree + 1 tablespoon cornstarch if using fresh passionfruit pulp/puree
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

- Use a large spatula to fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, just until the mixture is combined.
- Transfer the cake batter into the prepared loaf pan. Give it a few taps to release any trapped air bubbles.

- Increase sugar slightly if using unsweetened fresh passionfruit to maintain sweetness balance.
- Cool loaf on a wire rack after baking to keep the crust from becoming soggy.
