HAWAIIAN GUAVA CAKE



Hawaiian Guava Cake image

Now considered a classic Hawaiian dessert, guava cake was created at Dee Lite Bakery in Honolulu, where it became widely popular. This version is adapted from blogger Alana Kysar's "Aloha Kitchen: Recipes From Hawai'i," a cookbook of traditional Hawaiian dishes. Outside of Hawaii and California, pink guava concentrate can be tough to find, but you can also use white guava concentrate or 100 percent guava juice. (If using juice, you'll need to reduce it; see Tip below.) To mimic that lovely pink color, add a few drops of red food coloring. If you don't, the cake will still taste like guava, but will look more like a vanilla cake.

Time 50m

Yield One 9-by-13 cake (about 24 servings)

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 1/2 cups/320 grams cake flour
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup/115 grams unsalted butter (1 stick), at room temperature
1 1/4 cups/250 grams granulated sugar
6 large egg whites
1/4 cup/60 milliliters neutral oil, like canola or vegetable oil
1 cup/240 milliliters whole milk
1 cup/240 milliliters guava concentrate or reduced guava juice (see Tip)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 drops of red food coloring (optional)
1 cup/240 milliliters heavy whipping cream
8 ounces/230 grams cream cheese, at room temperature
1/2 cup/100 grams granulated sugar
Pinch of kosher salt
3 drops of red food coloring (optional)
1/2 cup/120 milliliters guava concentrate or reduced guava juice (see Tip)

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with a parchment sling, leaving some over hang on the long sides.
  • Make the cake: In a large bowl, whisk the cake flour, baking powder and kosher salt until combined. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the butter and sugar and beat on medium until well combined, about 3 minutes. Add the egg whites, in three additions, beating about 1 minute after each. Reduce speed to low, add the oil and mix until combined, about 1 more minute.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, guava concentrate, vanilla and food coloring (if using). On low speed, alternate between adding the wet and dry ingredients to the bowl of the stand mixer, mixing well after each addition.
  • Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 to 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Make the frosting: In a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whip the cream on medium speed until frothy, 1 to 2 minutes. Gradually increase the speed to high and whip until it's light and fluffy with stiff peaks, another 2 to 3 minutes. (Don't overwhip!) Transfer the whipped cream to a bowl.
  • Replace the bowl on the stand mixer and fit the machine with the paddle attachment (there's no need to clean the bowl). Place the cream cheese in the bowl and mix on medium until smooth, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the sugar and kosher salt and increase the speed to high. Beat until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Lower the speed to medium and add the food coloring (if using). Add the guava concentrate in four additions, mixing well after each addition, and scraping down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula after the second and the final additions. Increase the speed to high and beat until smooth and well incorporated, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove the bowl from stand and, using the spatula, gently fold in the whipped cream in three additions, incorporating completely after each addition.
  • Spread the frosting on the cooled cake, using an offset spatula to smooth it over the edges. Chill for at least 2 hours before serving. Cut into 24 pieces and serve immediately.

GUAVA CAKE



Guava Cake image

On a mission to find recipes to use up the random tin of guava paste that I often have in the pantry, I came across this one online somewhere. The applesauce and glaze are my own doctorings, because the original recipe was good but quite dry. It's still a very dense butter cake, so those bakers desiring a lighter-textured cake may want to add more applesauce to the recipe.

Categories     Breads

Time 1h10m

Yield 1 10inch ring cake

Number Of Ingredients 11

3/4 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 cup unsweetened applesauce
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
10 ounces guava paste, sliced
1 cup sifted powdered sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons orange juice or 1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon vanilla or 1/2 teaspoon coconut extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Grease a 10-inch springform pan or ring mold.
  • In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar together.
  • Add eggs, one by one, beating thoroughly.
  • Add applesauce and vanilla, and mix well.
  • Sift flour and baking powder together in a separate bowl.
  • Gradually add flour mixture to butter mixture until fully blended.
  • Spread half the cake batter in greased pan.
  • Top with guava paste, taking care not to place paste against pan sides (it will melt and spread once baked).
  • Top with remaining cake batter, covering guava paste.
  • Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean (except for the guava paste).
  • Mix ingredients for glaze until smooth, and pour over warm cake.
  • Allow to cool before serving, as filling will be extremely hot (not good to incinerate your tester's taste buds - you will lose tasting volunteers that way!).
