Feijoa Walnut Cake cont. Turn into a well greased 25cm cake tin and bake for 45-50 mins.Cool in the tin.Sprinkle with icing sugar & serve.a wonderfully moist and delish cake. Also can use this recipe to make banana cake by replacing feijoas with 2 peeled & roughly chopped bananas. These are 2 really easy (and delicious) cakes. Have had these recipes for years, they're by Glenda Gourley.

In the above muffin recipe the apple & feijoa skins can stay on if you wish.or peel.up to you.Variations on this recipe are apple & berry (4 apples,1c berries,fresh or frozen(blueberries are yum)and are not added to mix but pressed on top of each muffin.And apple & rhubarb muffins:2 apples,4c rhubarb,roughly chopped. All variety's are really yummy,and are all from Glenda Gourley.also have recipes for kumara (or pumpkin) & orange muffins and mini carrot (or courgette) cakes.if any one would like them. Does anyone still grow rhubarb!

They freeze well whole, great for fruit smoothies and on winter porridge with brown sugar.

Hi Zodiacgal. your recipes sound mouthwateringly delicious.yes. rhubarb is growing here - and there must be in lots of gardens still as threads pop up quite often with people asking for rhubarb recipes. I've seen a recipe for Rhubarb cordial which is my next recipe to try using it.

When a feijoa fecipe calls for peeled feijoas, can you just scoop out the middle?Peeling sounds sooo messy.

Today I just scooped out the middle and threw that with the apple in the food processor, i had all the other ingredients ready as feijoas do go brown real quick.

Just made this and used the tag ends of unwanted pickled onions. Onions in food processor, feijoas in processor=whizz, measure vinergars from onions and add Kenny's stuff.It's LOVELY.
