Feijoa walnut cake recipe

• 2 cups of feijoas, peeled and roughly chopped

• 1 cup of walnut pieces

• 1 cup of sultanas

• 1 cup of sugar

• 100 grams of melted butter

• 1 egg

• 1 cup of flour

• 2 tsp of mixed spice

• 2 tsp of baking soda.

Cook’s note: You will need approximately 5 large feijoas to yield 2 cups of peeled and chopped feijoa. It’s important to measure them correctly.

Directions

1. Mix the feijoas, walnuts, sultanas, and sugar together in a large bowl.

2. Beat the egg and butter together. Mix into the feijoa mixture.

3. Sift the flour, mixed spice, baking soda and add to the feijoa mixture. Stir lightly. Turn into a well-greased 25cm cake tin or deep ring tin.

Bake at 1800 Celsius for 45 to 50 minutes or until an inserted skewer comes out clean.

4. Cool in the tin before turning out. Serve warm as a dessert or cooled as a cake. This cake may be baked in muffin tins and freezes well.
