Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 13 x 9 baking dish.
- In a mixing bowl, combine strawberry cake mix, guava juice, eggs, and melted coconut oil. Mix on medium speed for about 2 minutes until smooth.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake for 24-26 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Beat cream cheese in a mixing bowl until fluffy, then mix in sugar and vanilla. Fold in Cool Whip until smooth.
- In a saucepan, combine guava juice and sugar, and bring to a boil. Whisk cornstarch and water into a slurry, then stir into the boiling mixture until it thickens.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture over the cooled cake, then pour the guava gel on top.
- Refrigerate the assembled cake for at least 2 hours before serving. Optionally, sprinkle with coconut flakes before serving.

Notes
Ensure eggs and cream cheese are room temperature for a smooth batter. Cool the cake completely before adding layers. Don't skip the chilling step for the best flavor.
