Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 21

For the Cake:
1 plain white cake mix
3 eggs/ 2 egg whites
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1/3 cup buttermilk
1/3 cup water
For the Passion Fruit Mousse:
1/3 cup water
2 packets unflavored gelatin
1 1/4 cup fresh or frozen passion fruit pulp
1 cup of sugar
2 tablespoons rum or pisco
5 egg whites
1 cup whipping cream
For the Passion Fruit Syrup:
3/4 cup fresh or frozen passion fruit pulp
3/4 cup sugar
For the Whipped Cream Frosting:
2 cups whipping cream
3 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to F.
  • In the bowl of a standing mixer, add the cake mix, 3 eggs, 2 egg whites, 1/3 cup vegetable oil, 1/3 cup buttermilk, and 1/3 cup water. Mix for 2 minutes or until well blended.
  • Line the bottoms of 2 9-inch cake pans with wax paper, and divide the cake mix between the 2 pans.
  • Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the center of the cake springs back when lightly pressed.
  • Let cakes cool 10 to 15 minutes in the pans. Run a knife around the edge of the cakes and flip them out of the pans. Set aside to cool.
  • While the cakes are baking, make the mousse: Sprinkle the gelatin over the water and set aside for 5 minutes. Microwave for 15 seconds or until gelatin is dissolved (do not overheat). Whisk the melted gelatin into the passion fruit pulp and set aside.
  • Make the cake soaking syrup: Bring 3/4 cup passion fruit pulp and 3/4 cups sugar to a boil. Boil for 1 minute, and remove from heat. Let cool and set aside. When cool, stir in 2 tablespoons rum.
  • Make the Italian meringue: Add egg whites to the clean bowl of a standing mixer. In a saucepan, bring 1 cup sugar and 1/2 cup water to a boil. Boil for 3 to 4 minutes, until the syrup starts to thicken and the bubbles are popping slowly.
  • Until the whisk attachment, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form.
  • Slowly add the hot sugar mixture to the egg whites. Pour syrup in a thin stream down the side of the bowl to prevent splattering. Work carefully to avoid burns.
  • Beat the meringue on high speed for 2 minutes, then reduce the speed to low and continue to beat so that the meringue will cool.
  • While the meringue cools, beat one cup of whipping cream until very soft peaks form. Do not overbeat.
  • Fold the passion fruit/gelatin mix gently into the egg whites. Do not overmix.
  • Whisk a small amount of the meringue/passion fruit mixture into the whipped cream, then gently fold all of the whipped cream back into the meringue mixture.
  • Slice each cake layer in half horizontally, so that you have 4 layers. Line the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan with a circle of wax paper. Butter the inside of the springform pan .
  • Place one cake layer, cut side up, in the bottom of the springform pan. Brush the cake with 1/4 of the syrup. Spread 1/3 of the mousse over the cake.
  • Cover mousse with another cake layer, and brush the cake with syrup. Spread another 1/3 of the mousse over the cake.
  • Continue to layer, ending with the fourth cake layer. Press cake down gently into the pan. Brush top of cake with syrup. Chill thoroughly, at least 4 hours to overnight.
  • Pop the side of springform pan off of cake in one quick motion. Gently lift ring off, leaving the cake on base.
  • Add sugar to two cups chilled whipping cream , and beat until stiff peaks form. Stir in vanilla. Spread whipped cream around sides of the cake and on top. You can also use a pastry bag with a star tip to pipe the whipped cream onto the top of the cake. Decorate with fruit, and serve chilled.

3/4 cup unsweetened passion fruit juice

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/4 cup unsweetened passion fruit juice (measure separately)
2 teaspoons gelatin powder
1 cup heavy cream
white chocolate curls
mango, slices rolled into roses

Steps:

  • Bake the Cake: Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. You will need two 8" round cake pans, line w/ parchment paper at the bottom, greased and floured.
  • Into a large mixing bowl, sift together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  • Make a wide well in the middle of the dry ingredients. Add in the following order, without mixing, the oil, egg yolks, the lemon zest and passion fruit juice. With a large wire whisk, beat until smooth. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the egg whites with the cream of tartar until they hold a stiff peak when the beaters are raised. They should not be beaten until they are dry.
  • In three additions, fold about ¾ of the yolk mixture into the whites. Then fold the whites into the remaining yolk mixture. Do not handle any more than necessary.
  • Gently pour the batter into the pans. Bake for 30 minutes at 325 degrees F, or until the top springs back when lightly pressed with a fingertip. Cool completely.
  • Make the Mousse: Fill a medium bowl with ice water; set aside. In a small saucepan, combine eggs, sugar and 1/3 cup passion fruit juice. Cook, stirring constantly, over medium-low heat until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of the spoon, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat, immediately add the butter and stir well to combine.

  • Pour the passion fruit/egg yolk mixture through a fine sieve into a bowl. Stir in the gelatin mixture. Place the bowl over the ice water, whisk constantly until mixture has cooled.
  • In a chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, about 3 minutes. Whisk 1/3 of the passion fruit mixture. Then in 2 additions fold the lightened passion fruit mixture into the remaining whipped cream.
  • For the whipped cream: whip the cream with the powdered sugar with the wire whisk until firm.
  • To Assemble: Split the cakes in half so that you have 4 1" rounds. Spread the mouse between each layer and chill atleast 1 hour. Frost all sides with the whipped cream, top with the white chocolate curls and mango slices.

Tips:

  • To ensure a smooth and creamy mousse, make sure all the ingredients are well chilled before you start preparing the recipe.
  • Use a high-quality passion fruit puree for the best flavor. You can make your own puree by blending fresh passion fruit or use a store-bought variety.
  • Do not overbeat the whipped cream, as this can cause it to become grainy.
  • To prevent the cake from sticking to the pan, grease and flour the pan before pouring in the batter.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before assembling the mousse cake. This will help prevent the mousse from melting.
  • When assembling the mousse cake, spread the mousse evenly over the cake and then top with the remaining cake layer.
  • Refrigerate the mousse cake for at least 4 hours, or overnight, before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the cake to set properly.
