The flowers are finally just starting to bud from the trees! Spring has sprung and that is all I can think about! The colors on this Vanilla Sheet Cake with Passion Fruit Cream Cheese Frosting screams Spring and warmer weather on the way.
The cake recipe is a The Vanilla Cupcake recipe from Gal On A Mission . I’ve been making it for a few years now, and it’s the best from scratch vanilla cupcake recipe I’ve tried. And I’ve tried many! It really yields the perfect moist cupcake.
To make it into a sheet cake, I doubled the recipe and added baking powder. I also added my own frosting recipe to the cake. Passion Fruit also makes me think of warmer weather, so I had to incorporate it into the cream cheese frosting.
I used passion fruit puree by Goya foods. You can get it in the supermarket in the frozen food isle. Just thaw, and add it to your recipe.
