Easy Guava Cake Filling Recipe

This is one of my old time favorite fillings for a cake. You can make guava paste homemade if you can find guava's easily but for those of us that can't find them, guava paste is the next best way to make this cake filling.
I will post a recipe in the website but I usually prefer to stay basic and just melt the guava paste with water. It's easy and fast and doesn't change the flavor. I explain in the video different ways to work with the paste and problems you might encounter.
I used Condensed Milk Buttercream with this cake but it tastes delicious with Cream Cheese buttercream. You can use your favorite cake. I have a few recipes I use for it and I will post all the links below.
I hope you enjoy the tutorial. Don't forget to subscribe to my channel and click on the notification bell so you can receive notifications when I post new tutorials. I will do a blog on this recipe soon so make sure to subscribe to my Blog.
Until next time...ta ta!

Thank you so much. I bought some guava paste but didn’t know how to use it for cake fillings. Now I do. Thx again. ❤

[@millicentpeters6689]

Thank you so much for this video. This is exactly what I’ve been looking for.

[@nesianhoney94]

Thank you for showcasing alternative methods and results. Grateful novice baker, here 👋 😊.

[@keishlam.carrerocruz2674]

Love this!!! Guava is my favorite !! Pastelillitos de guayaba o brazo gitano de guayaba son lo mejor ❤.

[@EdnaDelacruz]

I agree!

[@rebeccarivas420]

I loved this! You explained everything! Subscribed! 💗

[@EdnaDelacruz]

Thank you!

[@MegaMisfit138]

Thanks for the thorough tutorial. Looks great! I have a client requesting a specific style, Halloween cake, with orange roses. I suggested guava filling, to match the orange, but I see it's not exactly orange. Ooopps. Do you have any suggestions in making it orange, and less dark? I need it thick, since it's 3 tier. I'm thinking cream cheese frosting.

[@annjean8709]

Fantastic video!👌🏾 Thank you for sharing.

[@EdnaDelacruz]

Thanks for watching!🥰

[@lueannie]

Thanks, Edna! Sounds delicious!

[@EdnaDelacruz]

It is really delicious!

[@linda14149]

Edna again awesome helpful video love all your work!! 🍰💙

[@EdnaDelacruz]

Thank you!

[@Sweetsandthings]

I absolutely love this filling and recipe this is what I use for my Guava Cakes. Thank you!!! By the way do you have a Dulce de Leche filling recipe??? Thanks again!

[@EdnaDelacruz]

Basically, the dulce de leche is Condensed Milk that is been boiled for hours. They sometimes sell it already like that in supermarkets. Place the cans, unopened, in a medium-sized pot. Pour in enough water to cover the cans, plus an inch. Cover the pot. Boil over low heat for 3 hours, rotating the cans every half hour to cook uniformly, and adding water as it becomes necessary to maintain the cans covered, (or 35 minutes over low heat in a pressure cooker, counting from the moment it starts to whistle). Remove the cans from the water and cool them to room temperature (this is a must, as it is a safety issue). Once cooled, remove the lid, pour the fudge into a bowl, and stir to obtain a smooth cream.

[@Sweetsandthings]

@@EdnaDelacruz Wow thank you so much for this. Y la salsa de Dulce de leche? I want some Dulce de Leche that I can pour on top of the cake.

[@EdnaDelacruz]

@@Sweetsandthings You can add some heavy cream to it to fix the consistency.

[@Sweetsandthings]

@@EdnaDelacruz perfect so just boil it with heavy cream until I reach my consistency? Thanks so much

[@EdnaDelacruz]

@@Sweetsandthings Medium heat and just add the heavy cream to the consistency you like. I haven't measured it. I might have too.

[@cocotte4444]

Te agradezo tu explicación. Me ayudó ayer el truco que diste de enfriar el pastel antes de ponerle la jalea encima. Sin embargo, creo que no es necesaria la idea de machacar en licuadora la pasta es muy tedioso. Es tan sencillo hecharle 1 cucharada de agua en el micro 50 segundos y revolver y 40 segundos más si necesario y rectificar agua según resultado. Gracias!!! Eres la única que puso un Totorial de guayaba.

[@EdnaDelacruz]

Yo uso el microondas tambien sin problema pero hay gente que no tiene microondas o no le gusta usarlo y por eso tengo que dar otras opciones. 😁😁

[@tlacuache4448]

Gracias por publicar la receta. Estoy preparando un pastel 3 leches de guayaba y fresa con coco para el Día de Las Madres. Tu receta se mira deliciosa y a ver como me sale mi pastel. Saludos! Happy Spring :~)

[@fernandafederico112]

Si lo haces comenta cómo te quedó por favor! :-)

[@EdnaDelacruz]

Siempre recuerda que tu controlas la consistencia añadiendo el agua. Siempre cambiara un poco dependiendo de el tipo de pasta de guayaba que uses.

[@SR-fo7to]

Great video 👍👍👍👍

[@EdnaDelacruz]

Thank you!

[@utopiad4]

[@Lola-vf7km]

So helpful!!

[@Regiapisciana]

Hi Edna. So is better in the pot? Estufa

[@EdnaDelacruz]

Yo lo hago en el microwave también.

[@Sweetsandthings]

Edna Hope your doing well! Your cakes Recipes are one of the best I have done!! Your awesome. When will you have a Red Velvet Cake Recipe??

[@EdnaDelacruz]

The red velvet recipe I have is the original red velvet recipe. It's posted in the website. I do have to make the video tutorial for it. I am glad you enjoy my recipes!

[@Sweetsandthings]

Can’t Wait 😊!

[@eeqlzmctwo]

I remember the first time I cooked guava sauce, I realized it doesn't smell so good! But it taste so good!

[@EdnaDelacruz]

I wonder why it didn't smell good. MIght be the brand you use? I never had that issue..lol

[@Nappy2BeMe]

Ms. Edna, can you fold a small amount of this (once warm and not to stiff of course) DIRECTLY ‘into’ a SBC or whipping cream for a ‘lighter filling’? I know I can try it but wanted to see your take on that or if you actually had tried it before I purchased the paste. That would be the application I want it for. Thank you.

[@EdnaDelacruz]

Oh yes, you can also use Bettercream and make it more mousse style if you don't want the butter flavor on it. Bettercream is a non dairy stabilized whipped cream.

[@sweetcakes1337]

super amazing❣

[@princessjune]

So yummy! 🍰💗

[@mayra_7029]

Love it!!!

[@madelinemercado6850]

Gracias❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@02Nawal]

OH my god thank you for this video.

[@EdnaDelacruz]

You're so welcome!

[@JackieZCreation]

Hi Edna , love your channel, can I use this filling for fondant cakes?

[@EdnaDelacruz]

Yes, I use it all the time!

[@JackieZCreation]

Thank you, I'll give it a try

[@solrivera8762]

Para pastelillos de guayaba tambien? y para los bizcochos de guava y queso? Yo siempre compro el filling... pero ha subido demasiado de precio.

[@EdnaDelacruz]

Todo esta carisimo!

[@leilacosme4281]

Can I make it in advance? If so how many days maximum?

[@EdnaDelacruz]

You can bake the cake and place it in the fridge for a few days. Do make sure to seal it well so it doesn't dry. I tend to ice it and finish it the day before the event.

[@normatorresortiz7771]

Tan buena la pasta de guayaba! En Dakota del Sur no la consigo, tengo que mandarla a pedir desde PR

[@EdnaDelacruz]

Oh wow.. Tambien la puedes conseguir en Amazon!

[@KathrynRoberts60]

When using the Guava paste warming it makes it spreadable, but as it cools does it not take on that rubbery texture again?

[@EdnaDelacruz]

That's why you add the liquids to it, to make it less hard. But adding too much liquids can make it too soft. The recipe is open to your own preferences.

[@KathrynRoberts60]

@@EdnaDelacruz I may try incorporating the Jam while melting the paste

[@dyannamedina5430]

how long does this last for in fridge or at room temp?

[@EdnaDelacruz]

It stays well out of the fridge for a few days. Guava paste can last in the fridge for 12 months. If it's in a cake then, of course, it won't last as long since the cake might get dry.

[@taneshapitts4973]

Once paste is on cake is it hard?

[@EdnaDelacruz]

You can add a bit of water to it to soften the paste, it depends on what you prefer but, keep in mind, that you don't want to make it too soft as it can make the filling too slippery.

[@taneshapitts4973]

I guess I'm trying to say once cake is frasted and decorated when you cut to eat is the paste hard or kind of moist? Thank you

[@EdnaDelacruz]

@@taneshapitts4973 That's what I am saying. It really depends on the one you buy. If it's hard, then it will be a bit hard so add a bit of water to it when you heat it so it becomes softer. Remember you need to let it cool down before you place it on the cake. So if it's not spreadable then it might need more water.

[@aymansharkas2084]

You are nmbar 1 my sheef

[@shesblessedx3]

😍😍😍

[@lynnvasquez4425]

Heat your knife so that it is easy to spread.

[@EdnaDelacruz]

Yes..I do that for when I want it thick.
