Preheat oven to 375\u00b0F. Brush a 7 x 11 inch rimmed baking pan with melted butter, line with parchment paper and brush with butter again.

Bake for 20-25 mins, until golden and a skewer comes out clean. Leave in pan to cool slightly.
Meanwhile, to make syrup, combine 1/4 cup sugar and lime juice in a small saucepan. Stir over low heat until sugar has dissolved. Bring to a boil, stirring. Boil, without stirring, until light golden and syrupy. Remove from heat and cool slightly. Add passionfruit pulp then spoon over top of cake while still warm. Let cake cool then serve.
