Feijoa & Orange Cake 100g butter, 1/2 cup sugar, 1 tablsp golden syrup, 1 egg, 1 teasp baking soda, 2 tablsp hot water, 13/4 cups flour, 2 teasp baking poder, 1 cup feijoa pulp, juice & rind 1 orange, 4 tablsp brown sugar.
Process butter & sugar until creamy. Add syrup and egg, beat well. Mix b/soda inwater and add to mixture and mix. Add flour, b/powder, orange rind and feijoa pulp and mix lightly. Put into prepd cake pan and bake @ 180C for 40 mins. Dissolve b/sugar in orange juice and spoon over cake, return to oven and bake a further 15 mins. I usually bake this in a 20cm ring pan or sometimes in swiss roll tin and then cut into squares.
Instead of carrots I use a good cup to one cups of fiejoa pulp. it was beautiful Fab Moist Large Carrot Cake(THE BEST EVER) Whizz chop 3 med.carrots. ADD:2 cups sugar,2 tsp.cinnamon,1 cup oil,4 eggs. Whizz till well blended. ADD;2 cups plain flour,2 tsp baking powder,1 tsp baking soda,1 tsp salt. Whizz again till well blended. Pour into large lined cake tin.(makes a large 27 cm round cake-6 cm deep)Bake@150 degrees c. approx 1 hour. Check with skewer. Ice with Cream Cheese Icing when cold. 100grm Cream Cheese, 50g butter, 1tsp vanilla, 2 cups icing sugar. Soften Cr cheese & butter, whip till smooth. Add vanilla & icing sugar. Addition of either lemon or orange rind & juice lifts flavour. The BEST recipe I have ever had!
I have made it successfully with Gluten free flour. Also used egg substitute (so dairy, egg & GF) but it then cooks better in muffin pans or a ring tin. Obviously don't use cream cheese icing for dairy free! Nice with a lemon glaze though

Toadies Feijoa Loaf
Put the following in a large saucepan 1 cup chopped Feijoa's (scooped flesh chopped - no skins) 50g butter 1 cup boiling water 1 cup sugar Bring to the Boil - Let cool
Add 2 Cup flour 1 teaspoon Baking Soda 1 teaspoon Baking Powder 1 egg
Cook for 45-60 mins at 180c
Be careful as this can get flour balls - make sure it is well mixed. I used electric beaters sometime . I also make a double batch most times as it freezes beautifully and you can cut it from frozen. Delicious, An added advantage is you mix it in the saucepan - so very little dishes to do. I have made this loaf for years and its delicious - made it last night even lol. When Feijoa's are plentiful I freeze the pulp in 1 cup lots - all chopped and ready to go - so we can have Feijoa Loaf all year around.

Love this recipe - BUT I tweaked it a bit. I found it had too much sugar with the natural sugar from the feijoas, so only did one cup of sugar (or just under) and added a teaspoon of baking powder to flour mix. Used very ripe feijoas and did a teaspoon of cinnamon and teaspoon of mixed spice. Also put some in a muffin tray, which came out lovely.
Feijoa & Apple Shortcake 1 cup flour 1 cup polenta 1 cup caster sugar 1/2 tsp baking powder 150g butter zest of 1 large lemon 1egg Filling 1 1/2 cups granny smith, apples peeled and sliced 1 1/2 cups feijoas, peeled and sliced dusting of caster sugar Oven 180C Use a brownie tin Put flour, polenta, caster sugar, baking powder, butter, lemon zest and egg in a food processor and pulse until it resembles bread crumbs (mine didn't it was more moist). Spread half mix over base of tin and press gently Arrange feijoa and apples slices on top and sprinkle with additional caster sugar to taste . Cover with remaining mixture and bake for 45 mins Remove from oven, cool and chill in fridge before serving with yoghurt, cream mix

I wonder where they get there recipes - I was given it by a friends mother about 20 years ago - Made it so many times everyone I know just refers to it a J's Delicious Fejoa loaf.

I have just planted 5 Fejoa trees around my water tank as a screen. I chose 5 different variety depending on there fruit size (hate small ones too fiddly so all large and Xlarge) and on when they fruit - I now should have a variety of Fejoas from Early March to late June.

I make a nice moist feijoa cake using a banana cake recipe but substitute the bananas with 4-6 feijoas. delicious with lemon icing. The same recipe makes muffins. Don't overfill the tins or they swell up and overflow. So easy. Enjoy.

I have made the above posted recipe of Annabel Whites .A lovely cake, although I prefer to just put a good pinch of ginger and not a teaspoon.
