In reply to Maddie. Hi Maddie! You can just replace the almond extract with additional vanilla. Cheers!

In reply to K Babs. I have a nut allergy, so cannot use the almond extract. Do I replace it and with what, or just omit it?

In reply to Stephani from The ZoeBakes Team. Hi Stephani I would try with a sort of vegetable shortening. Does it have to be melted first or is it used in a solid state?

I’m a fan of Zoe’s 5 minute bread books and decided to try making this for a family Mother’s Day dinner (I found frozen passion fruit puree at Whole Foods, btw). The cake and strawberries were delicious, but the buttercream was super heavy, I noticed a lot of people left big lumps of it on their plates. The Swiss Meringue phase of the frosting took an unexpectedly long time to cool from the 140 degree “safe to eat” temperature. After a half hour of whipping it in my 74 degree kitchen it was still 90+ degrees! I ended up submerging the bowl in an ice water bath in an attempt to get to the event on time. Next time I’ll make some whipped cream just before serving with a dollop of passion fruit puree mixed in, I think it will complement the cake and strawberries better.

The cake part is delish! The buttercream seems too heavy – I thought it would be more meringue-ish – I made 1/2 of the recipe and will just add dollops of whipped cream and the berries on a thinner layer of the buttercream.

In reply to Stephani from The ZoeBakes Team. Yes, I am making it tomorrow for myself for mother's day, but no passion fruit, frozen or otherwise, so I will add homemade strawberry preserves I made last year.

In reply to Lisa. Good catch! Yes, all those ingredients are mixed together. I've updated the recipe to make it more clear. Thank you!
