cakey katie

lookit what just arrived
at our place:
ah yes, skiting now:
a great big bucket
of fee-i-joes!!!

which i'm completely *ecstatic* about, because i thought we'd seen the last of them already this year, and i've been *dying* to try out this chocolate feijoa cake evah since i spotted the link at floss's. thought i'd c'n'p the recipe here, cos i'll *definitely* make it again:

Chocolate Feijoa Cake

185 g butter
3/4 c caster sugar
2 eggs
1 1/2 c peeled chopped feijoas
1/2 c sour cream
2 tbsp brown sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 1/2 c Self Raising flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 c cocoa
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg (I didn't use it)

Heat oven to 180 degrees celsius.
Combine feijoas, brown sugar and cinnamon in bowl and set aside.
Cream butter and sugar. Add eggs one at a time.
Stir sour cream into feijoa mix and combine well.
Sift dry ingredients into creamed butter/sugar/eggs and add in feijoa mix, combine well. Transfer batter into prepared tin and smooth top evenly.
Bake 40 - 45 (today's cake took 55) mins, or until skewer comes out clean. Sit for 5 mins before turning out.

Cool and ice cake (my recipe):
sift 1/2 c cocoa, 1 1/2 c icing sugar, stir in 25 g softened butter, splash milk, few drops vanilla essence.

now i'm just trying to work out which to pop into my mouth first:
the cake? or the feijoas?
