{Feijoa Crumble Cake}






I know, I know, I left it on the carrot cake for weeks and now I turn up with another cake, but its now or never with this one, well that's a bit dramatic as you could make it at this time of any year but what I mean is its now feijoa time so this lovely little cake is perfect for those feijoas you have sitting in the fruit bowl, I bet you have all the other ingredients in your pantry too, its not got anything fancy in it.

I found the recipe online and tweaked it, I just had that slice in the photo with a cup of tea and I'm a happy little hausfrau, now I am ready to take on the late afternoon toy tidy up, the getting in and folding of the washing and all those other jobs that I have been putting off all day ...

...the cake
125g butter, melted
1 cup chopped feijoas
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 1/2 cups plain flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp all spice

...the crumble
1 1/2 tbsp butter, melted
1/2 cup rolled oats
1/4 cup brown sugar

Add the feijoas, sugar and egg to the melted butter. Stir well, then fold in the sifted dry ingredients. Pour mixture into a lined cake tin (I used a 20cm tin).

Combine the crumble ingredients and sprinkle over the cake then bake at 180 for 50-60 minutes, until the centre springs back when pressed lightly, cool in tin for ten minutes then remove and transfer to a rack.

  4. YUM! I'm a bit feijoa-mad at the moment too - reckon they are the fruit version of asparagus - you've got to go nuts while they're in season cos it's a long time to wait to the next one!
