Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 13 x 9 inch baking dish with vegetable spray.
- In a stand mixer, combine the strawberry cake mix, guava juice, room temperature eggs, and melted coconut oil. Mix at low speed for 30 seconds, then increase to medium-high for 2 minutes.
- Pour the batter into the greased baking dish and bake for 24-26 minutes, until edges are light golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
- Remove the cake from the oven and set on a wire rack to cool completely for about 30 minutes.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until fluffy, add granulated sugar and vanilla, then fold in Cool Whip. Refrigerate while the cake cools.
- In a saucepan, heat guava juice and add granulated sugar, stirring until it reaches a low boil. Mix cornstarch with water, whisk it into the boiling mixture, and continue boiling for an additional minute.
- Once cooled, spread the cream cheese layer over the cake, then pour the guava gel on top.
- Refrigerate the assembled cake for at least 2 hours, then garnish with sweetened coconut flakes before serving.
