Before, I have shared with you a yam crepe cake recipe and based on your warm response, I decided to give a fresh twist to it and here you are! A passion fruit and mango crepe cake is created. The cake was easy to make and it was super delish! Now, I have a small reminder. Making a crepe cake requires a lot of time and steps. So, to save time, you can prepare the passion fruit curd first before starting on making the crepes.
So let’s get started and trust me, the end result is going to be one satisfyingly beautidul and delicious piece of cake.
Ingredients:
a) Crepe Batter
6 Eggs80ml corn oil30ml melted salted butter130g castor sugar220g cake flour1 teaspoon of salt20g passion fruit essence740ml fresh milk b) Cream Filling
500ml heavy whipping cream30g icing sugar1 tablespoon of vanilla bean paste c) Passion fruit Curd
11 passion fruits4 large egg yolks150g castor sugar100g unsalted butter, diced d) Topping
Fresh diced mangoes Method:
a) Passion Fruit Curd
Remove the flesh from the passion fruits and run it through a sieve. Collect only the juices and set aside 2 tablespoons of seeds separately to another bowl.Beat the egg yolks and sugar together.Mix in the passion fruit juice into the egg mixture,On a double boiler, at medium heat, constantly stir the mixture till it thickens.Take it off heat and mix in all the butter,Place a cling wrap onto the curd, let it cool and keep in the fridge.
b) Crepe Batter
In a bowl, whisk eggs, sugar, melted butter, oil, milk, vanilla and passion fruit essence till well combined, Add in the cake flour and salt.Run the mixture through a sift once to ensure there are no lumps,Set aside to rest for 30 minutes.Grease a non-stick cooking pan with 1 tablespoon of oil.  Wipe off the excess oil with a kitchen towel to ensure the cooking pan is not greasy.Heat the pan on medium heat for 2 minutes.Once the pan is hot, switch the heat to low, add in about 3 tablespoons of batter, or enough to lightly coat the bottom of the pan, swirling the skillet as you add the batter to evenly coat the bottom of the pan.Cook for about 30 seconds per side or until lightly golden then flip using a thin-edged spatula and let cook for another 30 seconds or until the second side is golden. Gently remove the crepe to a flat wide plate and allow the layers to cool to room temperature before stacking and icing them.
c) Cream Filling
Combine heavy cream, icing sugar and vanilla bean paste together in a bowl. Whisk at medium speed till it starts to thicken a little, switch to high speed.Whisk till cream has thickened but do not over mix as it will separate. d) Assemble the Crepe Cake
Place one layer of crepe on a cake board.Spread 2 tablespoons of cream at the center of the crepe, spread 1 tablespoon of passion fruit curd on top of the cream layer and spread evenly till the edge of the crepe. Spread the passion fruit curd on top of the whipped cream after ever 5 layers, There is no need to spread the curd on every layer,Repeat step 2 with all the layers except for the last layer. Only spread a layer of passion fruit curd and spread the seeds evenly.Evenly spread the excess cream at the side of the crepe.Chill in the fridge for 1 hour.Just before serving, top with fresh mangoes.
