Ingredients

5 medium eggs

6 oz golden caster sugar

2 oz light olive oil

6 oz plain flour

2 Tbsp icing sugar

4 passion fruit, halved, seeds seived and juice reserved

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375F.

Grease and line a 9 inch springform pan with baking paper, or grease and flour a bundt pan.

Use an electric mixer to whisk the eggs for about 3 minutes until pale and thick.

Add the caster sugar and whisk until the mixture triples in size so it is pale, thick, foamy and leaves a trail when you lift out the beaters.

Continue to whisk on a high speed while you add the olive oil, drop by drop.

Sift the flour onto the mixture and fold in gently with a spoon.

Pour into the prepared pan and bake for 40-45 minutes until the cake is golden, springy and shrinking away from the sides.

Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack.

Sprinkle the cake with sifted icing sugar, slice and serve with passion fruit juice drizzled around each plate.

Tippy- I just love this but what is golden caster sugar? Is there another name for it?

tippystclair 1 year, 5 months ago said:
I found this definition on the Waitrose site:
Golden caster sugar
A raw cane sugar with a fine free flowing texture and a light golden colour. It is different from standard caster sugar because the light presence of molasses adds a delicious flavour and aroma, but can be used in place of standard caster sugar.

Hope this helps!
