Feijoa cake
Some embroidery I've been working on, in peachy tones…

And a very seasonal cake. The children went to Nelson to visit their grandparents and came back with a bag of feijoas from my parents' orchard. I had to make an obligatory cake with some of them – this is very lovely as a dessert with natural yoghurt (or cold, with coffee – obviously there are lots of ways to eat cake.)

The recipe is this favourite old one, posted years ago here on the blog. It's great because it makes two (one for you and one for a friend) and you can substitute any fruit you happen to have in season where you live.

    Stunning embroidery, and delicious looking cake. I might have to take advantage of using dad’s feijoas for this recipe too πŸ˜ŠπŸ’•

    Been making your cake with my black-boy peaches to everyone’s delight. It’s known as”tiny happy” cake at our house. I have the same glass pie/cake dish like yours. Cake, pie, quiche look appealing in it. $2 find at the op shop.
    Love your embroidery. Am impatiently waiting for your book to arrive. I ordered it 2 weeks ago from an on line bookstore. Perfect for winter crafting.
