Vanilla Layer Cake with Passionfruit Curd and Vanilla Swiss Meringue Buttercream
It is always it feels like winter is never going to finish. February actually tends to drag it is bum round here today we had snow, then freezing rain (never noticed that wee symbol in my weather program until I transferred here, and it is not an enjoyable one), so it is kinda difficult to motivate myself to do anything other than stay indoors with the kitty and eat soup. That is precisely what we've been doing. Whoopsies.
It is almost the exact same procedure as creating lemon curd, In case you haven't produced passionfruit curd before. I eliminated the seeds to create the curd which is wonderful to provide a pinch without being too overpowering. What that I love about passionfruit curd is the fruit is sour enough to stand up to the egg yolk, and therefore you don't run the chance of this eggy flavor you'll be able to get along with additional fruit curds, but still get the yummy flavour and velvety texture in the yolks.
The remaining choices out there regarding flavour pairing were easy - a vanilla bean meringue buttercream and I created a bean cake, and paired it. Both serve as the foundation to generate the filling glow.
