Tip

When chopping the feijoas, make sure the measuring cup is in place as there will be a mess up the walls.

You could try this recipe with half pear half feijoa, which would give a yummy twist.

    Made this yesterday, super yum - lovely and moist, light and flavourful. I swapped out the ginger glace with 2 tablespoons of ground ginger (like someone else suggested), and I used coconut oil instead of macadamia. Yum yum!

    Made this today and it’s very tasty. I used about two tablespoons of ground ginger instead of glazed and rice bran oil instead of macadamia oil. Made two small cakes, probably could have just made one huge ones too.

    This cake is really easy to make, tastes great and the recipe makes enough for two good-sized ring tin cakes. The combination of feijoa and ginger with the lemon icing is lovely - the feijoa gives a zing, the ginger gives gentle heat and the lemon complements both. I would think that the cake would freeze well, too, looking at it's texture. [
