Ingredients
Scale
For the Cake:
- 1 box strawberry or white cake mix
- 1 cup guava juice (or nectar)
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 3 eggs
- 1/2 cup applesauce (for extra moisture)
For the Whipped Layer:
- 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 (8 oz) tub whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed
For the Guava Glaze:
- 2 cups guava juice or nectar
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup cornstarch mixed with 1/4 cup water
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, beat cake mix, guava juice, oil, eggs, and applesauce until smooth. Pour batter into the prepared dish and bake for 28–32 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool completely.
- Meanwhile, beat cream cheese and sugar together until fluffy. Gently fold in whipped topping until combined. Spread over the cooled cake and chill.
- For the glaze, heat guava juice and sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook, stirring constantly, until thickened and glossy.
