Preheat oven to 350\u00b0F. Lightly grease 2 springform pans (8 inches each). Line bases with parchment paper and dust sides with flour, shaking out excess.
In a large bowl, whip eggs until frothy. Gradually add sugar, beating, until thick and pale and mixture holds its shape. Sift and fold in flour and cornstarch. Fold in 1/3 cup boiling water and butter. Distribute between prepared pans and bake for 20-25 mins, until cakes spring back when touched lightly with fingertips.
Run a knife around edges to gently loosen then turn cakes out onto a wire rack lined with a tea towel. Let cool completely.
Meanwhile, to make the passionfruit icing, beat powdered sugar, passionfruit pulp and butter with 1 tbsp hot water until smooth. Spread 3/4 of the whipped cream over 1 sponge cake. Top with second cake. Spread icing over top. Serve with remaining whipped cream.
