Passionfruit Yogurt Loaf

Passionfruit Yogurt Loaf combines the tangy sweetness of passionfruit puree with the moisture from yogurt and avocado oil, producing a tender, moist cake. The inclusion of lemon zest and vanilla adds subtle citrus and aromatic notes, while cake flour ensures a soft crumb. This loaf is baked until a skewer comes out clean, creating a lightly golden crust that balances the fruity interior. It's suitable as a snack or dessert, delivering a unique tropical flavor in a simple loaf format.

  5. Use a large spatula to fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, just until the mixture is combined.
  6. Transfer the cake batter into the prepared loaf pan. Give it a few taps to release any trapped air bubbles.
  7. Bake at 350°F/177°C for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean, or with the slightest crumbs clinging to it.

Notes

  • Add 1 tablespoon cornstarch when using fresh passionfruit puree to control moisture.
  • 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.
