Vanilla Sponge Cake

Hazelnut Brittle

Passionfruit Coulis

Method

Vanilla Sponge Cake

  1. 1

    Prepare the Batter

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.

  2. 2

    Combine Dry Ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with milk, and mix until just combined.

  3. 3

    Bake

    Pour the batter into a greased 9-inch round cake pan and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool completely.

Hazelnut Brittle

  1. 4

    Make the Brittle

    In a saucepan, combine sugar and water. Cook over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and the mixture turns a golden color. Add chopped hazelnuts, butter, and salt, stirring to combine.

  2. 5

    Cool and Break

    Spread the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and let it cool completely. Once hardened, break it into pieces.

Passionfruit Coulis

  1. 6

    Prepare the Coulis

    In a saucepan, combine passionfruit pulp, sugar, and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens slightly, about 10-15 minutes. Let cool.
