=== Brazilians love passion fruit desserts, and this easy yet spectacular passion fruit mousse cake is one of their best. Spongy vanilla cake layers are soaked with passion fruit syrup, then filled with an intensely flavored passion fruit mousse. The cake is iced with sweetened whipped cream, and serve chilled. It makes an elegant summer dessert. If you can't find fresh passion fruit, use frozen fruit pulp, which you can find at supermarkets (I found Goya brand frozen passion fruit pulp at my supermarket) or Latin food grocery stores. If you are short on time, make just the mousse - it's delicious with fresh fruit. ===

**Ingredients f****or the Cake:**

 * === 1 plain white cake mix ===
 * === 3 eggs ===
 * === 2 egg whites ===
 * === 1/3 cup vegetable oil ===
 * === 1/3 cup buttermilk ===
 * === 1/3 cup water ===
