This is a very popular cake recipe - posted by Smiley-Cherub a couple of years ago - and enjoyed by many since. . The recipe includes a whole orange - skin included. . substitute feijoa's to equal the size of an orange and make the recipe as shown. . I would peel the feijoa's, as the skin can sometimes have a slightly bitter taste. Other fruit can be substitute - a pear, apple, lemon, banana, passionfruit, etc. . etc. . Add spices, coconut, cocoa, choccy chips, etc... etc. . and make this easy cake in a variety of ways. . The recipe? ... next post...

Magical Orange Cake: 1 whole orange, skin included, washed and processed to a pulp, 125gr melted butter, 1 cup sugar 2 med-lge eggs, 1 1/2 cups self-raising flour. YES, ITS AS EASY AS IT LOOKS! If you have a food processor, just throw everything in together and mix till all combined. Now, I don't have a FP so I did it the old-fashioned way (LOL) Mix together the melted butter and sugar, add egg then orange pulp. Stir to combine then fold in sifted SR flour. Pour into lined loaf tin and bake at 180C for approx 35-40 mins or ready when tested with skewer. I doubled this recipe - it made a lovely ring tin cake which I iced with orange icing and also a loaf which I left plain. Such an economical recipe! Couldn't believe how yummy such a simple recipe could be. Posted by Smiley-Cherub.

You could make the cake using feijoa's or other fruit, and serve it with custard. . or make it as a self-saucing pudding. . mix as above and place it in a greased casserole type dish. Sprinkle over 1 cup white sugar and the rind of two oranges. Mix: 1 1/2 cups hot water with the juice from the two oranges, and pour that carefully over the sugar mix. Bake at 180°C for 30-40 minutes. For other variation's, substitute the orange for the equivalent amount of mandarin's, lemon's, banana, plum's (remove stones), any kind of berries, feijoa's, tamarillo's, kiwifruit, fresh or drained canned or preserved peaches, nectarine's, pineapple, plums, apricots, etc. . etc. .

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? ?

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. .

O man you guys are lucky living where these lovely fruit grow. I have a tree which has grown heaps over summer but no fruit this year. We used to get fruit off our tree at our old house. I bought some off TM and they arrived yesterday, I have to say there won't be any left by the end of the weekend. I will ferret some away so I can bake with them me thinks. I got told today the apple and feijoa cake is to die for

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.

Bumping for be_eva, Enjoy your feijoa cooking. Maybe you could freeze some for cooking when feijoas aren't in season. YUMMY
