Ingredients

• 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix
• 1 cup guava nectar
• 0.5 cup vegetable oil
• 3 large eggs
• 1 cup guava jelly or paste
• 0.25 cup water
• 8 oz (softened) cream cheese
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 cup whipped topping

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour a 9x13-inch baking pan.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, guava nectar, vegetable oil, and eggs. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes until the batter is smooth.

Step 3

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 5

While the cake bakes, make the guava glaze. In a small saucepan, combine the guava jelly or paste with the water. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the jelly melts and forms a smooth glaze.

Step 6

Once the cake is out of the oven, allow it to cool for 10 minutes. Then, poke holes all over the surface of the warm cake using a skewer or fork. Pour the guava glaze evenly over the cake, letting it seep into the holes. Let the cake cool completely.

Step 7

For the frosting, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together in a large bowl until smooth. Fold in the whipped topping until fully combined.

Step 8

Spread the frosting evenly over the cooled cake. For added guava flavor, spoon or drizzle extra guava jelly on top, if desired.

Step 9

Refrigerate the cake for at least 1 hour before serving. Cut into squares and enjoy your tropical treat!
