Ingredients
- Delicious Cupcakes:
- Two jars of guava paste (8 ounces each)
- A cup of rich brown sugar
- Softened butter measuring three-fourths of a cup
- Two delicate eggs
- Fluffy all-purpose flour, two cups in total
- Fragrant baking powder, a teaspoon for leavening
- A hint of aromatic vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt, just a quarter teaspoon
- Sweet and tangy guava nectar, one cup
- Optional: Add twenty drops of red food coloring for a vibrant touch
- Decadent Cream Cheese Frosting:
- A block of softened cream cheese (8 ounces)
- Two tablespoons of softened butter
- Luscious vanilla extract, a teaspoon to enhance flavors
- Smooth confectioners' sugar, half a cup for sweetness
- A dash of red food coloring, five drops for a pop of color, if desired
Step 1
To begin, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) and prepare 16 cupcake cups by lining them with paper liners for easy removal later on.
Step 2
Next, take the guava paste and cut it into medium-sized squares before placing them in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat the guava paste in the microwave on high for about 2 minutes until it melts down, leaving a slightly chunky texture resembling jelly. Stir well to ensure it reaches the desired consistency, heating it more if needed.
Step 3
In a large bowl, use a mixer to beat together brown sugar, butter, and eggs until the mixture becomes creamy. Then, add flour, baking powder, vanilla extract, and salt, stirring until partially combined. Incorporate the guava nectar into the mixture, ensuring everything is well mixed. Gently fold in the warmed guava paste and mix in some red food coloring for a vibrant hue.
Step 4
Evenly distribute the batter into the prepared cupcake cups and bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cupcakes to cool completely once done.
Step 5
Meanwhile, prepare the frosting by blending cream cheese, butter, and vanilla extract with an electric mixer on low speed until smooth. Gradually add confectioners' sugar and a touch of red food coloring, mixing on low until fully combined. Chill the frosting for 10 to 15 minutes to help it set slightly before generously frosting the cooled cupcakes.
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. Keep your guava pastries in a cool, dry place to maintain their freshness and flavor. A pantry or cupboard works perfectly for this purpose.
- 2. For a touch of elegance, store your delightful guava pastries in a decorative glass jar with a tight-fitting lid. This not only keeps them fresh but also adds a visually appealing touch to your kitchen.
