and stir until sugar is dissolved.

Bring to the boil,

reduce heat to low and cook for 10-15 minutes or until syrupy.

For the cake, place butter and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer

and beat for 10-15 minutes or until pale and creamy.

Add vanilla, then eggs one at a time,

beating well after each addition.

Add yoghurt and beat until combined.

Fold through the flour.

Spoon the mixture into a 22cm spring­form cake tin lined with baking paper

For the salsa, combine all the ingredients in a bowl and toss to combine.

Remove cake from tin, place on a serving plate.

Pierce cake evenly with a metal skewer,

and drizzle generously with the warm syrup.

Serve with mango salsa and extra passionfruit syrup, if desired.
