i just use the standard edmonds banana cake recipe..raw mashed fejoas and sultanas and little cinnamon instead of bananas (or you can use half and half)...great in muffin tins too

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.

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....

toadfish - 2014-05-21 06:37:00

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.....

l found your recipe on Miss Cookie Strikes again blog and the only difference is that you simmer the mix for about 5 minutes until it starts to go syrupy all the rest is the same
l will be trying your recipe when l get time l know it will be good

griffo4 - 2014-05-21 10:07:00

Feijoa and date cake google it really easy.

suda - 2014-05-23 16:32:00

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.

spider47 - 2014-05-23 16:52:00

Bake 50 – 60 minutes. Stand 10 min. before turning out.
Dust with icing sugar.

YES, YES, YES fantastic very, very nice cake made with feijoas and I shall try it with other fruit too once the feijoas stop dropping.
I have made 6 in the last few days !!!! I just used a standard ring tin and found one quantity overflowed - still nice though - so next time split it between 2 tins. Still nice but a little bit on the shallow side so next time made double recipe and spread it over 3 tins. This is beginning to sound like Goldilocks and the Three Bears isn't it but that was just right.
It is so easy to make and is ideal as cake and/or desert with whipped cream.
Now all the feijoas being frozen are being done in 500gram lots.
