Feijoa Coconut Cake

This cake is for both the people that find feijoas too fruity, strong, even soapy and for those who adore their guava-pineapple hybrid flavour, the touch of citrus, intense aroma and deliciously soft flesh . Paired with coconut for a tropical touch and a richness that tames their complexity but at the same time enhances their exotic qualities.

If you can't get your hands on this green gems substitute with mango, pineapple or a mix of both.
