Cake
- 1 box strawberry cake mix
- 1.33 cups guava nectar or guava juice
- 3 large eggs (room temperature)

- 0.25 cups cornstarch
- 3 tbsp water
Cream Topping
- 6 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 0.25 cups sugar

Instructions
- Making the Cake Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a jumbo or regular cupcake pan with liners.
- Mixing the Batter Combine the cake mix, guava juice, eggs, and coconut oil in a large bowl. Blend for 30 seconds on low, then mix for 2 minutes until smooth.

- Making the Cream Topping Whip the cream cheese until fluffy. Gradually add sugar and vanilla, mixing until smooth. Fold in the Cool Whip gently. Chill until ready to use.
- Assembling the Cakes Spread the cream topping over the cooled cakes. Refrigerate until set.
- Serving Spoon the guava glaze over each mini cake before serving. Chill again until ready to enjoy.
Notes
- Ensure the cakes are completely cooled before applying the cream topping to prevent melting.
- Refrigerate the glaze and cream topping to help them set properly on the cakes.
