Cheese Bundt Cake With Guava Glaze
A heavenly bundt cake topped with two luscious glazes—an irresistible dessert perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
For the cake:
- 3 sticks unsalted butter at room temperature
- 8 oz cream cheese at room temperature
- 6 eggs at room temperature
- 3 cups granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 3 cups cake flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp sea salt
For the vanilla glaze:
- 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
- Splash of vanilla extract
- Enough heavy cream to reach desired consistency
For the guava glaze:
- 2 cups fresh guava peeled
- ¾ cup water
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp corn starch
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease and flour a bundt pan, ensuring even coverage.
- In a mixing bowl, cream butter and cream cheese together until light and fluffy, about 4–5 minutes. Gradually add sugar, beating well until incorporated.
- Add eggs one at a time, beating after each addition. Mix in vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, sift together cake flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan, smoothing the top. Bake for 75–85 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Prepare the vanilla glaze by whisking powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and enough heavy cream to achieve the desired consistency.
- For the guava glaze, blend guava with water until smooth. Strain into a saucepan, then stir in sugar, corn starch, and vanilla.
- Cook over medium heat until the mixture thickens, about 5–7 minutes. Allow it to cool slightly.
- Drizzle both glazes over the cooled cake. Serve and enjoy the moist, tropical flavors!
