Have you ever had this delicious Guava Cake ?   I tasted it a couple of years ago at a neighborhood gathering and I loved it!  I wanted to get the recipe back then but I spaced it until… my friend brought this cake to Bunco last week and I fell in love all over again!  Thanks to Rachel for sharing this delicious recipe :)
