I am delighted to be hosting this month’s Forever Nigella for the lovely Sarah of Maison Cupcake. In honour of the glorious weather we have been enjoying in recent weeks the theme this month is Springtime. Time to get your Nigella books out and look for something bright and sunny, or perhaps a dish to celebrate Easter which is almost upon us already.
I had a flick through the Easter section of Feast for my own entry, and was drawn to Nigella’s recipe for passionfruit curd. She uses it in place of lemon curd in her delicious lemon meringue cake, for an Easter treat, but also recommends it as a filling for a Victoria sandwich. I decided to make some mini Victoria sandwiches filled with fresh cream and passionfruit curd.

Nice cakes and I'm so glad you showed what you did with the left over bits, I hate to see cake wasted!!!

Oh those cakes look scrummy. I made some passionfruit curd last month specifically to go in a Victoria sandwich but it was so delicious I couldn't bear to put it in a cake. I am planning on making some again as soon as I can get hold of some more passionfruit.
