We hope you enjoy baking her delicious Tropical Sunrise Mango Passion Fruit Loaf Cake. Fruit cake always get a bad rep, reminds everyone of their grandparents pulling out a fruit cake at every holiday out of a plastic wrap and placing front and centre of their table.
We challenge you to bake this Fruit Loaf and we promise you it will change your mind about Fruit Cake!
Bring it out with a cup of tea when friends visit, or as dessert, it'll wow your guests. The flavours have a big kick and work so well together.
The prep time is super quick- 20 minutes to assemble the loaf and then 1 hour in the oven. It's worth the hour wait!
We recommend using a loaf pan size 9x5 inch- it will make 10-12 slices.
The ingredients use some unique items you may not have to make sure you shop ahead of starting. Citrus Vanilla Extract is a must, that extra citrus really adds flavour. Mango Puree is the next unique ingredient you must have. We also encourage you to buy fresh Passion fruit pulp with the seeds included.
Our fruit syrup is really just to give that extra punch, you can buy both flavours at our Pantrylot store. Mango Flavoured Fruit Syrup and Passion Fruit Flavoured Fruit Syrup.
The Passion Fruit Glaze isn't absolutely needed but we differently recommend adding this as it will level up this from a loaf to a cake!
Storage: You can store at room temperature up to 2 days, covered. They can store in the Refrigerator in an airtight container for 4 -5 days. For storing in the freezer cool completely and freeze for up to 2 months.

Directions
Step 1
Step 1 — Prep
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan and line with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the long sides for easy lifting.

Step 2

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Step 5
Step 5 — Bake
Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean.
Cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes.
Step 6
Step 6 — Soak with Syrup
While the cake is still warm, poke small holes all over with a skewer.
Slowly spoon or brush half of the syrup over the cake so it absorbs. This step makes the loaf incredibly moist and flavourful.
Step 7
Step 7 — Glaze
Whisk together the passion fruit pulp and Icing Sugar until smooth.
Drizzle over the completely cooled cake. Drizzle the remaining syrup lightly over the glaze, if desired.
Step 8
Step 8 — Serve!
Slice and serve with fresh mango cubes, extra passion fruit pulp, and whipped mascarpone cream.
Serving Suggestions
Pair with tea/coffee over an afternoon happy hour, or save for dessert for any event!
You can always bake the loaf ahead of time, and glaze day of! As long as you bake and serve within 4 days this would work.
