Feijoa loaf

suziebee, Apr 22, 11:35am
There was a recipe in last Sunday's paper for a feijoa loaf which I forgot to cut out, I was wondering if anyone has it. Also as I do not eat sugar could I swap the sugar for coconut?

If you are using coconut I'd put 125gr rather than 225gr for sugar.

Try this Feijoa & Coconut Cake. it is delicious.
4 eggs
150g butter softened
1 1/2 cups caster sugar
2 cups desiccated coconut or 1 cup ground almonds
2 cups self-raising flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup yoghurt or sour cream
1 1/2 cups sliced feijoas, plus 1/2 cup more for the top
Separate eggs and beat whites until they form soft peaks. Soften butter and beat with caster sugar until creamy. Add yolks one at a time beating between, then fold in self-raising flour, coconut (or ground almonds) and baking powder. Then gently stir in milk and plain yoghurt. Fold in beaten egg whites and the 1 ½ cups of sliced feijoas.
Place extra feijoa slices on top to decorate before baking @ 150c for 1 to 1 ¼ hours in a reasonably shallow dish. Serve warm as a dessert.
