Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and coat a 13x9 inch baking dish with vegetable spray.
- Combine the strawberry cake mix, 1 cup of guava nectar, 3 eggs, and ½ cup of melted coconut oil in a large mixing bowl. Mix on low for 30 seconds, then medium-high for 2 minutes until smooth.
- Pour the batter into the prepared dish, spread it evenly, and bake for 24-26 minutes. Let it cool in the dish for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Beat the cream cheese until creamy, then add the sugar and vanilla extract. Fold in the Cool Whip and refrigerate until the cake is cool.
- In a saucepan, combine 2 ½ cups of guava nectar and ½ cup sugar over medium heat until boiling. Stir the cornstarch slurry, then add it to the boiling mixture and boil for another minute until thickened. Cool in the refrigerator.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture over the cooled cake, then drizzle the guava gel on top and refrigerate for at least an hour to set.
- Sprinkle with sweetened coconut flakes before serving. Slice into squares and enjoy the vibrant layers of your cake.
