Nice combo with guava and cream cheese (especially the cream cheese part that gets me every time). Glad you join in the Bundt Bakers fun.
Thanks Renee – the cream cheese is my favorite part!
That looks awesome! Guava is one of my favorite fruits, I'm sure they're lovely in cake! 🙂
Thanks June. I grew up eating guava pastries so making a cake seemed like a great idea
Looks and sounds absolutely delicious! Welcome!
Thank you!
I have never really had that much guava, your cake looks amazing!!
Thanks Tara. Guava is really tasty
That cream cheese frosting looks absolutely amazing! I tasted a guava pastry for the first time when I went on the South Beach Miami Culinary Tour…what a delicious flavor!
They are! I grew up eating them. One of my favorite pastries ever!
Those guayaba y queso pastelitos are delicious! I never miss an opportunity to make a dessert featuring those two.
Thanks! Yes they are a favorite of mine. I need to post my own pastelito recipe here soon
Good Job!!!!! It looks delicious!!!! I would love to taste a cake with guava in it.
Thanks Carol! Wish I could send you a slice
That icing looks great, I love thick glazes like this. I've never tried guava before, it's a fruit on my list of ones to try.
Thanks Laura. I love the combination of guava and cream cheese, and the frosting was so good!
Welcome to the group! I've never had guava before but your bundt is beautiful.
Thank you Lauren!
I am a new member also so welcome to both of us. I am not sure, I have ever had guava but I love tropical fruits. Cream cheese frosting is another of my favorites. You made a beautiful cake.
Thanks so much Chaya!
I have never had guava. Now I have to try it and this cake too.
You won't regret it Ronnie!
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.
So glad to be baking with you in the group. I love guava, although I have not tried the paste. I'll definitely be looking for it now so I can try your bundt cake.
Thanks! Such a fun group to be a part of!
Guava is one of my favorite flavors also, beautiful cake!
Thank you!
It was delicious. Instead of cream cheese frosting though, I used lime buttercream. Yum!
Lime buttercream sounds delicious!
Excellent recipe. My family loved it!
