Spiced Feijoa Cake

Here is my friend Gill's recipe for a spiced Feijoa cake, nice to have with a cup of coffee. And should there be any leftovers it's a good keeper.

 

Spiced Feijoa Cake

1 egg

1 cup raw sugar

125 g butter

Feijoas - flesh scooped out to obtain 1½ c feijoa chunks

1¾ c standard flour

Pinch salt

1 tsp soda

1 tsp cinnamon

½ tsp ground cloves

½ tsp allspice

 Method:

 

1  Place the sugar and egg in a bowl and beat a little with a fork

 2  Melt the butter and add to the bowl

3  Add the scooped-out feijoa chunks and mix

4  Mix all the dry ingredients together and sift them into the egg and fruit mixture

5  Pour into a lined and greased 22cm or 24cm round tin and bake at 180°C for about 40 minutes, until a test skewer comes out clean.  Cool a little before removing from the tin.
