Preperation and cooking times
Ready in 1 hour 30 minutes- Heat the oven to 160C/fan 140C/gas 3. Whisk the egg whites with a pinch of salt and the lime juice until foamy. Add the cream of tartar and continue to whisk until stiff but not dry. Gradually whisk in 90g caster sugar with the lime zest until it forms a thick and glossy meringue. Sieve the remaining caster sugar and the flours into a bowl and fold into the meringue in 3 batches to retain as much air as possible. Fold in the dessicated coconut. Spoon into six unoiled 10cm bundt tins and bake for 30 minutes, until firm and pale golden on top.
- Turn the tins upside down on a wire rack (this creates steam to loosen the cakes) and leave for 10 minutes. Give each cake a very firm shake and a tap to release them then cool completely on the wire rack.
- Scoop out the passion fruit pulp and push through a sieve to remove the seeds. Drizzle the juice over the finished cakes before serving.
Giving some extra zing
You can give these little cakes extra zing by finishing with candied lime zest. Simmer shredded zest in a syrup made from equal amounts of sugar and water then scoop out and cool - sprinkle over to finish.
