    Do we know what day it is? Are we wearing real clothes? Have we run out of things to watch on Netflix? To be perfectly honest with you, apart from all the dying, which is obviously tragic, this whole social distancing thing is working out pretty well for me. My camping trip earlier this week was cancelled. Working from home is my dream. And I've had a slight increase in traffic to my blog. I suppose there is the teeniest tiniest infinitesimal chance that I manifested a global pandemic by wishing I could stay at home and wear yoga pants every day. Sorry about that.

    I haven't even come close to running out of things to do, and I get sad every time I think about having to go back to the office. I keep thinking I might get bored eventually, but it hasn't happened yet. Am I broken?

    Both compotenents are really easy to make, but if you don't want to make your own passion fruit curd, just use any fruit curd you can find at the store. Or have a look online to see if there's a local maker who is still send out orders. I'm sure they could use the love right now. And the cake itself requires virtually no skill. Just dump everything into a bowl and mix it with an electric mixer. You could even do it by hand if you really wanted to.

    minutes

    Ingredients

    • 225 grams baking spread, from the fridge

    • 225 grams sugar

    • 4 eggs

    • 225 grams self-rising flour

    • 1 teaspoon baking powder

    • ½ cup passion fruit curd

    Directions

    • Preheat your oven 180 C (350 F). Butter and flour two 20-cm/8-inch round cake tins.
    • Add the baking spread, sugar, eggs, flour, and baking powder to a large mixing bowl. Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat together all your ingredients until blended and smooth.
    • Divide the cake batter between your two prepared baking tins. You can use your food scale to check if the batter is divided evenly. Spread the batter evenly, then bake for 25-30 minutes or until the cake spring bakes when you press it gently with your finger.
    • Leave the cakes to cool in the tin for about five minutes, then turn them out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
    • To assemble, just spread as much passion fruit curd as you’d like onto one layer of cake, and then top with the other layer. You can sprinkle some powdered sugar over the top if you like. Serve with fresh whipped cream.

    The cake recipe is from Fast Cakes by Mary Berry.

      What is baking spread? Will butter work?

        Shortening would work better here.
