Directions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and coat a 13 x 9 inch baking dish with vegetable spray.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the strawberry cake mix, guava nectar or juice, eggs, and melted coconut oil. Blend on low for 30 seconds, then medium-high for 2 minutes until smooth.
- Pour the cake batter into the prepared baking dish and bake for 24-26 minutes. Check for doneness with a toothpick.
- Cool the cake in the baking dish for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Beat room temperature cream cheese until fluffy, then gradually add sugar and vanilla, mixing well. Fold in Cool Whip.
- Spread the cream cheese layer evenly over the cooled cake.
- In a saucepan, combine guava juice and sugar, bringing to a low boil. Mix cornstarch with water and whisk into the juice mixture until thickened.
- Cool the guava glaze to room temperature.
- Pour the cooled guava glaze over the frosted cake, allowing it to cascade down the sides.
- Chill the cake for at least 30 minutes before serving. Garnish with coconut flakes before cutting into squares.
