Step-by-Step Instructions for Hawaiian Guava Cake
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 13 x 9-inch baking dish by spraying it with vegetable oil.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the strawberry cake mix, guava juice, eggs, and melted coconut oil. Mix until smooth and well combined.
- Pour the batter into the baking pan and bake for 24-26 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Beat the cream cheese until fluffy, then mix in the sugar and vanilla extract, folding in the Cool Whip.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled cake and chill for at least 30 minutes.
- In a saucepan, combine guava juice and granulated sugar and bring to a boil. Mix cornstarch with cold water to create a slurry and whisk into the boiling juice.
- Once thickened, cool the guava gel slightly before spreading it over the cream cheese layer.
- Spread the cooled guava gel over the chilled cake and refrigerate to set the glaze.
- Optionally sprinkle coconut flakes on top before serving. Slice and enjoy chilled.
