First off, we peel the feijoas and cut the them into smallish cubes. Put the chopped feijoas into a small sauce pan.
8 feijoas
Add the water and sugar and give it a good stir. Bring the mix to a boil and let it simmer for around 5 minutes.
1 cup raw sugar, 3/4 cup water
Take the stewed feijoas off the heat and let them cool down for a few minutes.
Note: at this stage, you can either transfer the stewed fruit to a mixing bowl, or you can add the ingredients for the batter using the same sauce pan (if it is big enough)

Now, you add the butter into the still warm fruit stew. That way, the butter can melt.
50 grams (2oz) butter
Mix the baking powder and baking soda with the flour and stir into the fruit with a spatula.
2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp baking soda
Chop the walnuts finely using a sharp knife.
1/2 cup walnuts
In a cup, beat the egg and add to the cake batter along with the walnuts and fold it in until well combined.
1 egg

Preheat the oven to 180℃/350℉, fan-forced setting.
Line a loaf pan with baking paper (parchment paper).
Fill in the cake batter and bake the loaf for around 45 to 60 minutes, depending on your oven. Check after 45 minutes if a skewer comes out clean. If not leave it a bit longer.
Remove the feijoa loaf from the pan and let it cool down before serving. Enjoy with ice cream on the side or topped with a little bit of butter.
