I still cant decide whether I like eating feijoas plain, or putting them in a cake. Maybe I’ll just have to keep testing both to find out!
This is a good recipe for any not quite ripe feijoas you have lying around too. Inspired by a Nadia Lim recipe.
Enjoy!

Instructions
- Heat oven to 180 (160 fan) and line a slice or cake tin and grease sides.
- Mix the Velvety baking mix together following the cake instructions on the packet. Add 1 tsp vanilla essence to the mix
