Even someone who went to patisserie school likes a shortcut once and awhile. This cake is gluten free and so easy to make. Guavas are in season so why not make a simple guava cake? You can use any fruit puree to make this cake. Strawberry is lovely too. If you don’t have fresh guava you can use store bought puree.

If using fresh guavas blend in a blender until well blended. Then use a rubber spatula to run through a strainer to remove the small seeds. The seeds are edible but most people prefer them removed.
