  • Total Time: 41 minutes
  • Yield: 12 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box Strawberry Cake Mix
  • 1 cup Guava Nectar or Juice
  • 3 large Eggs
  • 1/2 cup Liquid Coconut Oil
  • 8 oz Cream Cheese
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 8 oz Cool Whip
  • 1 tbsp Cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup Water
  • 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1/2 cup Coconut Flakes

Instructions

  1. 1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 13 x 9 dish with vegetable spray, ensuring it’s well-coated for easy removal after baking.
  2. 2. In a large bowl, mix together the strawberry cake mix, guava nectar, eggs, and coconut oil on low speed for about 30 seconds before increasing to medium-high speed for two minutes until smooth and thick.
  3. 3. Pour the batter into the prepared dish and bake in the preheated oven for 24–26 minutes; check doneness with a toothpick inserted into the center.
  4. 4. After baking, transfer the cake to a wire rack and allow it to cool completely before frosting to ensure the frosting doesn’t melt.
  5. 5. For the frosting, beat softened cream cheese until fluffy, then gradually mix in sugar and vanilla extract; fold in thawed Cool Whip and refrigerate until ready to use.
  6. 6. In a saucepan over low heat, combine additional guava nectar and sugar until boiling; mix cornstarch with water in a small bowl, stir into the heating mixture until thickened, then let cool before drizzling over the frosted cake.
