Chef Tips

- Roll the guava paste cubes in wheat flour before mixing into the dough to prevent them from all sinking to the bottom of the pan. - Use very firm quince paste cut into 1-centimeter cubes so they do not dissolve completely. - Let the cake cool completely before unmolding, as hot guava paste can burn and stick to the walls of the pan.

Variations

- Beat the egg whites separately and fold gently into the batter at the end for an even fluffier cake. - Add fine zest of Tahiti lime to the batter to enhance the aromatic notes of coconut with guava paste. - Sprinkle powdered sugar and toasted dry shredded coconut over the unmolded cake to create a classic decoration.

Substitutions

- Traditional coconut milk can be replaced by whole cow's milk or mild almond milk. - Common vegetable oil can be swapped for warm melted unsalted butter or virgin coconut oil. - The guava paste in cubes can be replaced with cubes of firm dulce de leche bar or homemade marmalade.

How to Store

Keep the cake in a closed container at room temperature for up to 4 days. On hotter days, store in the fridge for up to 6 days and lightly heat the slices in the microwave to soften the guava paste.

Can You Freeze It?

You can freeze the already baked cake in slices wrapped individually in aluminum foil and plastic wrap for up to 3 months. Defrost at room temperature for 1 hour and heat for 20 seconds in the microwave to resume the melted sweetness.

What to Serve With

Pairs perfectly with fresh drip coffee without sugar, black tea with herb infusion, or hot coffee with milk. A slice served with a slice of cured Minas cheese makes up the classic Brazilian Romeo and Juliet.
