Ingredients
- 1 box YELLOW CAKE MIX
- 1.25 cups GUAVA NECTAR
- 3 large EGGS
- 0.5 cups VEGETABLE OIL
- 8 oz CREAM CHEESE
- 1 cup SUGAR
- 8 oz WHIPPED TOPPING
- 2 cups GUAVA NECTAR
- 0.25 cups CORNSTARCH
Instructions
Step 1:
- Heat your oven to 350 degrees. Grease your baking pan very well. You can use butter or spray. This helps the cake come out easily.
Step 2:
- Open your box of yellow cake mix. Pour it into the large bowl. Add the guava nectar and oil. Now crack the three large eggs.
Step 3:
- Turn on your electric mixer now. Mix the batter on medium speed. Do this for two full minutes. The batter should look pink and smooth.
Step 4:
- Pour the batter into the pan. Use your spatula to spread it. Tap the pan on the counter. This lets the air bubbles escape.
Step 5:
- Place the pan in the oven. Bake it for about thirty minutes. The kitchen will smell like a paradise. Check the cake with a toothpick.
Step 6:
- Take the cake out of the oven. Let it sit on the wire rack. It must be cold to the touch. This usually takes one hour.
Step 7:
- Mix the cream cheese and sugar. Beat them until they are fluffy. Add the whipped topping very slowly. Spread this over the cold cake.
Step 8:
- Mix nectar and cornstarch in a pan. Add a drop of food coloring. Stir it over medium heat. It will become thick and clear.
Step 9:
- Let the pink glaze cool down. Pour it over the white frosting. Spread it evenly to the edges. It will look like a mirror.
Step 10:
- Put the cake in the fridge. Let it set for two hours. This makes the layers stay together. Now you can slice and serve.
Notes
- Use room temperature eggs for a better cake texture always.
- Ensure the cake is cold before adding the cream frosting.
- Store the cake in the fridge to keep frosting fresh.
- You can use frozen guava juice if nectar is missing.
- Do not overmix the batter to keep it very fluffy.
