What a wonderful idea to use the guava paste as filling, Terri! I just happen to have a block in my refrigerator that needs using up. So glad you joined Bundt Bakers this month!

Thanks Stacy! This cake was originally for a rectangle pan (which it would look good in that too) and I adapted it for a bundt pan.

It was delicious. Instead of cream cheese frosting though, I used lime buttercream. Yum!
