Instructions
- Prepare cake batter according to package directions replacing the water called for on the box with guava juice (mine happened to call for 3 eggs and 1/3 cup oil but if yours is different follow the box directions). Bake cake in a greased 9X13 baking pan according to package directions. Let cake cool completely.

- Slowly fold in the Cool Whip and refrigerate until ready to use.
For the Guava Topping:
- In a medium sauce pan, bring the 2 cups guava juice and 1/2 cup of sugar to a boil.
- Make a paste out of the cornstarch with about 2-3 tablespoons of water.
- Remove guava juice from heat and stir in the cornstarch mixture until combined well. Return mixture to heat and bring back to a boil and boil for one minute stirring constantly. Cool guava paste in refrigerator.
To assemble cooled cake:
