Passion Fruit Cupcakes with Coconut Frosting

The pulp of passion fruit is intensely sweet-and-sour and has a fruity, exotic taste with hints of citrus and flowers. In this recipe, rich vanilla-scented cupcakes are filled with a sunny-colored passion fruit curd and are finished with a sweet coconut frosting that pairs perfectly with their tropical flavor.
