Hawaiian Guava Cake

"Hawaiian guava cake with pink buttercream, both made from concentrated, cooked down guava juice. The cake is light, made with egg whites. Guava is like a wonderful cross between strawberry and passion fruit. And the cake is very, very pink. I've never tried fresh guava but it must be pretty gorgeous fresh as it smells like passion fruit and tastes like strawberry – I can’t imagine a lovelier fruity combination. I don’t know if they make their cakes with fresh guava in Hawaii but even the cooked down ‘juice drink’ imparted the fantastic flavour. Colour – not so much, hence the help of food colouring but obviously you can leave the cake pale and natural."
