Because not every kitchen adventure need be inspired by my African virtual trek…
And because sometimes a person just really wants to bake a cake…
And because one of my favorite things when my parents and I went to our luau on the Big Island of Hawaii was the passion fruit (lilikoi) cake…
And I had cake mix, passion fruit yogurt, and (by some miracle) eggs…

Cake success! Probably it would have been even better with simple buttercream icing instead of passion fruit. Or a mix of regular buttercream and passion fruit frosting.
But, still good.
Not as good as when we had the real thing in Hawaii.
But quite nice even so.
