Ingredients

Method

1.Preheat oven to 160ºC fan bake.
2.Place softened butter into cake mixer and beat until white for 5 minutes, then add sugar and continue to beat.
3.Add vanilla and eggs one at a time. Sift in flour and add milk and beat quickly, but surely (10 beats is ideal). Do not over-mix.
4.Place into cupcake cases and bake for about 25 mins – or when spongy to touch – and pale golden brown.
5.Cover with passionfruit icing, then split and fill with freshly whipped cream, or leave as is.
6.For the passionfruit icing, beat together 2 cups icing sugar, 1 tbsp soft butter and 1 tbsp cream cheese, thinning to the right consistency with passionfruit syrup.
