You know when you first get married and you want to make sure you do everything really nice for your husband's birthday? Well, as any good wife would, I asked him what his favorite cake was... his first choice was Haupia cake. How-a what? I asked! I had NO clue what that was so I asked him what his second choice would be and he said Guava. HUH? What about chocolate or banana nut? So I spent several times trying to find a recipe for these cakes. When Kurt came home from Afghanistan I thought I had made him the perfect Guava cake, I even had to go to a speciality store to get some of the ingredients. He looked at it and said, "That's not Guava cake." I was hurt. I had spent a lot of time researching Guava cakes and still came up short. Since then I have not tried again to make a Guava or Haupia cake. I told him when he takes me to Hawaii and I see what the is talking about, I may try again. Well, he took me to Hawaii! This is what a Guava cake looks like. Now I know. It is delicious, I see why he likes it. Maybe it's time for me to try again. I also got a mix to make Haupia so I may need to try that one out too!
