GUAVA JAM CAKE

THE REDO

GUAVA JAM CAKE

Makes 1 (8-inch) cake

This pillowy cake is our homage to the Bahamian guava duff. Because it’s more widely available in grocery stores, we used guava paste instead of fresh guavas to make the jammy filling.

¾ cup (220 grams) guava paste*1 tablespoon (15 grams) water¾ cup (170 grams) unsalted butter, softened1¼ cups (250 grams) granulated sugar2 large eggs (100 grams), room temperature1 teaspoon (4 grams) vanilla extract2¼ cups (281 grams) all-purpose flour1½ teaspoons (7.5 grams) baking powder1 teaspoon (3 grams) kosher salt½ teaspoon (1 gram) ground cinnamon¼ teaspoon ground allspice1¼ cups (300 grams) sour cream, room temperatureConfectioners’ sugar, for dustingButter Rum Glaze (recipe follows)
