Tropical Dragon Fruit Cake: A Slice of Paradise for Your Table

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease the cake pans, lining the bottoms with parchment paper.
2. In a mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg yolks, dragon fruit puree, milk, and vanilla; mix until combined.
3. In another bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk egg whites to soft peaks, then gently fold into the cake mixture.
5. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and smooth the top. Bake for 25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely on a wire rack.
6. In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream to soft peaks, then gradually add powdered sugar and dragon fruit puree, continuing to whip until stiff peaks form.
7. Once cooled, remove the cakes from the pans. Place one layer on a cake stand, spread a layer of frosting, then top with the second layer. Frost the top and sides of the cake.
8. Refrigerate the cake for 30 minutes to set the frosting, then slice and serve.
