- ½ cup Geraspte kokos (ongezoet) - (notitie 2)
- 1 cup Kokosmelk - (notitie 3)

Instructies
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a 9-inch cake tin with parchment paper. Slightly oil the paper and tin with oil spray. Set aside.
- Cut the ripe feijoa in half crosswise and scoop out its flesh with a teaspoon, placing it on a chopping board.
- Using a sharp knife, finely chop the flesh into a puree. Pack the feijoa flesh and its juice in a measuring cup to measure 1 cup.
- Place the feijoa puree in a large mixing bowl with shredded coconut, coconut milk, oil, vanilla extract, and sugar and stir to combine.

- Let it cool down for 10 minutes in the cake tin, then on a wire rack for 20 minutes before slicing.
Notes
Notes 1: If your Feijoas are not soft and ripe, increase the sugar to 1 cup for best sweetness. Feijoa is a fruit tree that grows everywhere in New Zealand. It’s also known as pineapple guava in the USA.
Notes 2: Or chopped nuts like a mix of pecans, walnuts, or almond meal.
Notes 3: Or almond milk, but canned coconut milk adds a lovely taste and extra moist texture to the cake.
Notes 4: Or vegetable oil, like canola oil.
Notes 5: You can use coconut sugar or demerara sugar, but the cake will be darker. Or simply use sugar, or half white sugar and half brown sugar.
Notes 6: You can make 2 cups of self-rising flour by whisking 3 teaspoons of baking powder in 2 cups of all-purpose flour. I don’t recommend gluten-free flour for this recipe. For a gluten-free option, use my glutenvrije converterMaar vergeet het bakpoeder niet.
Opslag: Store the cake in the fridge in a sealed cake box for up to 4 days.

You only need a handful of simple ingredients to make this cake. Here’s how to pick and swap them.
- Ripe Feijoa – This is the key ingredient, providing the unique, sweet, and tangy flavor of your cake. For the best natural sweetness, use very ripe feijoas. If yours aren’t perfectly soft and ripe, you might want to increase the sugar slightly. Feijoa is also known as pineapple guava in other parts of the world.
- Geraspte kokosnoot – This adds a lovely texture and a subtle tropical flavor that pairs beautifully with feijoa. You can also use chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts, or even almond meal, as an alternative.
- Kokosmelk – This liquid contributes to the cake’s moistness and adds a wonderful richness. Canned coconut milk will give you a particularly lovely taste and texture, but almond milk also works.
- Lichte olijfolie – This also adds moisture to the cake, keeping it tender. Vegetable oil, such as canola oil, is also a suitable alternative.
- Ongeraffineerde rietsuiker – This sweetens the cake. You can use coconut sugar or demerara sugar, but these will make your cake darker. Regular white sugar, or a mix of white and brown sugar, also works perfectly. Adjust the amount based on how ripe your feijoas are.
- Vanille-extract – This enhances the overall flavor of the cake, adding a warm note.
- Zelfrijzend bakmeel – This forms the main structure of your cake and already contains baking powder, making it easy to use. If you don’t have self-rising flour, you can create your own by whisking all-purpose flour with baking powder (details in the recipe notes). For a gluten-free option, use my glutenvrije converterMaar vergeet het bakpoeder niet.
- Kaneel – This spice adds a warm, comforting flavor that complements the feijoa beautifully.

Carine's baktips
Let me share a few more tips for a perfect feijoa cake.
- Feijoa Prep is Key – After scooping out the feijoa flesh, make sure to chop it very finely, almost to a mash. This ensures it blends well into the cake batter and provides a consistent texture.
- Aanpassing van de zoetheid – Use ripe feijoas for the best natural sweetness; if yours are very ripe, ⅔ cup of sugar should be enough. However, if your feijoas are a bit tough or less ripe, do not decrease the sugar; you might even want to increase it to 1 cup for optimal sweetness.
- Aanpasbare textuur – Feel free to swap the shredded coconut for other add-ins like almond meal, chopped walnuts, or pecans. If you prefer a plain feijoa cake, you can even skip these additions entirely.
- Feijoa Quality – The ripeness of your feijoas significantly impacts the sweetness and moisture of your cake. Ripe feijoas are soft to the touch and have a fragrant aroma.
- Panvoorbereiding – Line your cake tin with parchment paper and lightly oil both the paper and the tin. This ensures your cake won’t stick and is easy to remove once baked.
- Zachtjes mengen – Once you add the flour and cinnamon, stir the batter gently with a rubber spatula until it’s just smooth and consistent. Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour, leading to a tougher cake.
Wonderful! The feijoa season is here in New Zealand now, so this recipe is very timely. Thank you so much for sharing.
