Method
For the cake...
• Pre-heat to 180°c.
• Grease a large cake tin (20 / 23cm).
• Cream butter & sugar together & then add vanilla and lemon zest.
• Add eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition.
• Sift flour, cinnamon, baking soda & chilli salt & stir into creamed mixture.
• Then add sour cream. Mix well. Then stir in feijoas.
• Pour / scrape into cake tin.
• It’s a thick cake mixture!
• Sprinkle 4 tbspns brown sugar on top.
• Bake in oven for 45 mins to 1 hour. Check at 45 mins. If skewer comes out WITHOUT goop on it & it’s golden brown on top - you’re good! If unsure - just give it another 5 to ten mins.
• Leave to cool in tin on a wire rack for 10 mins. After 10 mins - remove the cake from the tin & leave to cool on wire rack.
• If frosting (which i highly recommend) - you must let the cake cool completely.
For the frosting...
• Mix all ingredients together with electric hand beater or stand mixer.
• Dollop on top of cake & decorate however ya like!
