Feijoa Cake

It's feijoa season and I LOVE feijoas. Every time I eat this fruit I think about my Grandparents and collecting feijoas to take home to eat. This recipe was given to me by my friend and it's delicious! Arohanui Tiara x

Cake

Ingredients:

125g butter

1 cup sugar

2 eggs

¾ cup flour

2 tsp baking powder

⅓ tsp salt

⅓ cup almond meal

225g sour cream

400g ripe feijoas cut in half and scooped

1 heaped tsp of demerara or brown sugar

A pinch of ground ginger

1.Pre-heat oven to 200C, Line the base of a cake tin with baking paper or you can butter the tin and coat with a light layer of flour.

2.Cream butter and sugar till well combined. Beat in eggs one at a time until well combined.

3.Sift in dry ingredients over the mixture and add sour cream and almond meal. Fold in carefully until well combined. (Mixture will be thick).

4.Spoon in prepared tin and lightly press in the cut fruit (cut side up). The fruit should be crowded but in a single layer.

5.Mix demerara or brown sugar with ginger then sprinkle evenly on the fruit.

6.Put the cake in the oven and immediately reduce the temperature to 180C. Bake for 50 minutes, turn the oven off and leave in the oven for an hour.

7.Serve warm and it probably would taste great with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
