MY DELICIOUS and ALWAYS ON POINT VANILLA-ALMOND-GUAVA and CREAM CHEESE CAKE!

I love to make this cake because it reminds me so much of my roots. As a Puerto Rican girl, I made this cake in my island a zillion times and never once disappointed me. Why? because its simplicity and of course, the flavors. Today, I was excited, because I made it to share with my loving friends. A long time group of people that although not family, I love them and consider them as if they were.

RECIPE TO MAKE MY GUAVA-CHEESE CAKE WITH MY DRY MIX
EXTRA INGREDIENTS to cover half the cake batter before pouring the second half just before it goes in the oven:
½ pk. of Guava Paste, thinly SLICED and ½ pk. of cream cheese thinly sliced as well.
PREHEAT YOUR OVER TO 350 DEGREES F.
For this recipe, oil spray a Bundt cake pan with olive oil spray and set aside.
 
In a med-size mixing bowl, add all the wet ingredients listed below, whisk well to combine.

• 1/2 cup of buttermilk or evaporated milk, my favorite
• 1/3 c.  of extra virgin or avocado olive oil or peanut oil
• 2 large eggs at room temperature
• 1 tsp. of Almond Extract and 1 tsp. of vanilla extract

 
Next, add the dry cake mix to the wet gradually, not all at once, and whisk just until all ingredients are combined. Also, never ever over beat your mixes once you add the flour. Beat/mix only until all the ingredients are soft & combined.
 
Pour HALF of the batter into the baking pan, then cover completely with cream cheese slices and guava paste slices on top.
Pour the other half of the batter to cover the cream cheese and guava paste slices.
Bake the cake for 20 to 30 min. depending on your oven calibration. A toothpick should come out clean.
Allow the cake to cool down first and then sprinkle powder sugar on top.
 ENJOY!!!
