Instructions
Melt the butter with the white chocolate in a large pan over a low heat.
Take off the heat and stir in the sugar. I have a vanilla pod permanently sitting in a jar of sugar which I often use instead of vanilla extract).
Beat in the eggs
Sift in the dry ingredients and stir until everything is just mixed.
Stir in the Greek yogurt and the passionfruit pulp.
Line a cupcake tin with 12 cupcake cases and divide the batter between them.
Bake in a preheated oven at 180℃ (350℉, Gas 4) for twenty minutes until well risen and golden.
Turn out onto a wire rack to cool.
Passionfruit Buttercream
Sieve the icing sugar and cream it with the butter until it's light and fluffy.
Sieve the pulp from the ½ passionfruit and beat into the buttercream.
Spread over the cooled cakes and enjoy.
