Ingredients
  

Guava Cake:

  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup guava puree
  • cup vegetable oil
  • cup sugar
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 2 large egg whites
  • ½ tsp cream of tartar
  • cup sugar

Frosting:

  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 4 ounces cream cheese
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar

Mango Jelly layer:

  • 1 cup mango juice
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a 7x11" pan. Set aside.
  • In a measuring cup, mix together the milk and vinegar. Set aside to combine for 5 minutes.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, guava puree, oil, sugar, egg yolks, and vanilla. Sift in the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • In a separate bowl, beat together the egg whites with the cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Gradually add in a tablespoon at a time of the ⅓ cup sugar until stiff peaks form. Fold it into the batter.
  • Pour into prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from oven and cool completely before frosting.
  • Make the frosting: Whip the heavy cream with the powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Set aside. In a separate bowl whip the cream cheese until soft, fold the heavy cream mixture into the cream cheese mixture.
  • Make the jelly: Add the mango juice and sugar to a saucepan over medium heat. Once it begins to boil, mix the cornstarch with 2 tbsp of water until you have a smooth slurry. Pour that into the mango mixture and boil for a minute. Remove from heat and allow to cool down.
  • Once the cake has cooled, spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the cake. Follow with the cooled mango layer. Refrigerate until ready to serve!
