Guava Cake

I'm not sure where this recipe came from, but we've had it for about 20 years.

1 pkg. white cake mix

1 can frozen concentrate guava juice, mixed with only 2 cans water (NOT PREMADE)

Bake according to package directions, substituting guava juice for water.

Frosting

8-oz. pkg. cream cheese, softened

1/3 cup sugar

1 tsp. vanilla

1 small pkg. Cool Whip

In a medium mixing bowl, beat cream cheese with mixer until fluffy. Add sugar and vanilla and beat in. Slowly fold in the Cool whip and refrigerate until ready to use.

Gel Guava Topping:

2 cups guava juice

½ cup sugar

¼ cup cornstarch

In a medium saucepan, bring the guava juice and sugar to boil. Make a paste out of the cornstarch and a small amount of water. Remove guava juice from heat and stir in the cornstarch mixture. Return to heat and bring back to boil and boil for one minute. Cool in refrigerator.

Assembly:

To assemble cake: Ice the cake with all of the cream cheese mixture. Glaze the top of cake with guava gel. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
