The brown sugar in this cake gives it a
beautiful color and delectable flavor. Covered with creamy frosting
and decorated with red guava shells, this festive Christmas cake
is ideal for any holiday gathering. Canned guava shells may vary
in color, so don't be concerned if some are less brightly colored.
For a simple-but still delicious-presentation, omit the frosting
and guava shells and dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar
just before serving.
