Recipe Notes
If you want some sauce at the bottom of the cake you have got to use a water bath. The water bath should be a baking / roasting pan that is larger than whatever you are baking the cake in(ramekins, casseroles or baking dish)
The water level usually determines the creamy layer at the bottom of the dish- middle of the casserole is a good place start.
Be sure that the water you pour into the outer pan is hot, and, to be on the safe side, put the pan inside the oven before you pour the hot water into it.
This cake can be made ahead of time, up to 4 hours refrigerate and then baked when ready.

Sub passion fruit puree with mango puree, pineapple  or just use lemon juice.
