Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 160°C (fan) or 180°C (non-fan). Prepare an 8-inch deep cake tin by lining it with baking paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat together margarine and caster sugar until pale and creamy, about 5 minutes.
  3. Gradually mix in Greek yogurt, followed by self-raising flour, baking powder, eggs, vanilla extract, lime zest, and lime juice. Stir gently until combined.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared cake tin and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for 50 minutes, checking with a skewer for doneness.
  5. Allow the cake to cool in the tin for 30 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  6. In a chilled mixing bowl, whip the double cream until soft peaks form.
  7. Spread the whipped cream over the cooled cake and scoop out the passion fruit pulp, distributing it across the cream layer.
  8. Sprinkle additional lime zest over the top, slice, and serve chilled.
