Melt in your mouth delish. Lemon icing finishes it off nicely. Only had enough feijoas for 1 cup but could still taste the flavor.

I used gf sr flour so left out the bp, but left in the bs to give it a good brown colour. Added 1tsp of guar gum to help keep the crumb together. Excellent result. The lemon icing was a positive. Don’t leave it out.

Preheat oven to 180°C bake. Grease and line a 20cm (approx.) round cake tin.
Cream Tararua Butter and Chelsea White Sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Briefly mix in mashed feijoas.
In another bowl, stir Edmonds Baking Soda into hot Meadow Fresh Original Milk. Mix into creamed mixture.
Sift in Edmonds Standard Grade Flour and Edmonds Baking Powder into mixture and fold in until combined.
Transfer mixture to prepared cake tin. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until cake springs back when lightly touched. Leave in tin for 10 minutes before turning out onto a cooling rack.
ICING Mix all ingredients together in a bowl until smooth. Adjust quantity of lemon juice and water to get your desired taste and consistency.
Melt in your mouth delish. Lemon icing finishes it off nicely. Only had enough feijoas for 1 cup but could still taste the flavor.
