Cake - Traditional Puerto Rican Panetela 🇵🇷
Posted: 23 May 2020, 07:28
1 cup sugar
1 stick unsalted butter
2 eggs
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
2 cups Pillsbury BEST® Self-Rising Flour, sifted
Powdered sugar, to taste, for garnish
Preheat the oven to 350 °F. You will need a 13x9 inch baking dish, sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Slice the guava cake in 1/4-inch pieces. Set aside. In a container, beat the sugar with the butter until creamy and uniform in texture. Add the eggs, one-by-one, and the almond extract and mix again. Incorporate the flour, little-by-little, mixing constantly at a low speed so the mix doesn’t splatter. Divide the mix into 2 equal parts. Pour a layer of batter in the bottom of the pan, spreading with a spatula until evenly spread out. Arrange the slices of guava uniformly over the batter and cover with the remaining batter. Bake for 35 minutes. Remove and let cool completely before cutting into 1 to 2 inch squares. Sprinkle with powdered sugar. Serve and enjoy.
