Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup guava puree
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 pieces eggs
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Mixing
  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Mix in the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  3. Stir in the guava puree and vanilla extract until combined.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until just combined.
Baking
  1. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top.
  2. Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Serving
  1. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack.
  2. Let it cool completely before slicing and serving.

Notes

For variations, consider substituting guava puree with mango or passion fruit puree. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature, or refrigerate for up to a week. The cake can be frozen for up to three months.
