A few weeks ago my boss told me about a popular cake in Hawaii called guava chiffon. At first I was like WHHHHAT, and then I was like "I must Google this now." I seriously love guava flavored things, if you haven't had the guava sunrise smoothie at Emerald City smoothies you haven't lived. SO, obviously I had to try guava chiffon cupcakes.
These cupcakes take a little extra time and patience, and to be honest I think this recipe could use a little tweaking. They turned out a little sticky for my taste, but it's all the same in your mouth right?! I got the recipe here, but chose to use my own frosting recipe instead of the one provided. The frosting was bomb and will now be a staple for me! Lastly, make sure you use powdered sugar in the guava sauce to make it thick. I used regular sugar because I prefer the taste, but the sauce was very runny and made everything sticky!
>> Cream cheese/Cool Whip frosting
8 oz. cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup sugar
8 oz. cool whip, thawed
1 tsp. vanilla
Combine cream cheese and sugar, beat for 1 minute. Add cool whip and vanilla, beat until well combined. So easy, woo!
