In a small sauce pan (on medium high flame), add guava paste. Add hot water and mix until the guava paste melts and gets to sauce consistency. Cook for 5 mins and check the consistency.

Guava Cake Preparation :
Pre-heat the oven to 325 F. In a mixing bowl, add strawberry cake mix. Follow the instructions on the back of the cake mix box (this could vary by mix). Once you add all the ingredients, mix for a minute. Add a portion of guava puree to the batter and mix for one more minute until it mixes well. Prepare the cake pans by applying some butter. Place a parchment paper and split the batter between both pans. Place the cake pans in the oven and cook for 25 mins. After 25 mins, check the cake with a skewer or tooth pick. Insert a toothpick in the middle of the cake and if the tooth pick comes clear, it means the cake is ready.

Place the cake pans on a cooling rack and let is cool down for 5 mins. With a knife, release the sides and move the guava cake on the cooling rack. Let the cakes cool down to room temperature and remove the parchment paper. Once the cakes get to room temperature, wrap the cake with a cling wrap and keep them in the freezer of 20 mins.
