Pour the batter into a springform pan lined with parchment paper and bake in a preheated oven at 175 °C for about 30–40 minutes. While the cake bakes, melt additional chocolate. Remove the cake from the oven and cool on a wire rack. Halve another passion fruit, scrape out the pulp, and stir it into the melted chocolate along with the whipping cream; let the mixture cool slightly before spreading over the cooled cake. Let the frosting set firmly, then release the cake from the pan and transfer to a serving platter. For garnish, halve the remaining passion fruits again, spoon out the pulp, drizzle over the glaze, top with raspberries, cut into pieces, and serve.
