Description
This Golden Guava Pear Soaked Tart is soft, sweet, and just a little nostalgic. It’s the kind of bake that soaks up a rich sauce and somehow tastes even better the next day.

Batter
- 3 tbsp butter or margarine, softened
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 3 eggs, room temperature
- 1 cup Self-Rising flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- 1/4 cup milk, room temperature
- 1 to 2 cups crushed guava and pear, lightly drained
Sauce
- 1/2 cup butter or margarine
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 1 tin evaporated milk (about 354 ml)
Instructions
Batter
- Preheat your oven to 360⁰F (180⁰C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking tin. If you have parchment, line the bottom; it makes serving easier later.
- In a mixing bowl, cream 3 tbsp butter or margarine with 2/3 cup sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the 3 eggs, one at a time, beating well after each.
- In a separate bowl, sift together 1 cup Self-Rising flour, 1 tsp baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
- Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing gently.
- Pour in 1/4 cup milk and mix again until you have a smooth batter.
- Fold in 1 to 2 cups crushed guava and pear.
- If your fruit is very juicy, drain off a bit of liquid so the batter doesn’t get too wet.
- Pour the batter into your prepared tin and smooth the top lightly.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until the top is lightly golden and a skewer inserted comes out clean.
Sauce
- While the tart is baking, add 1/2 cup butter or margarine, 2/3 cup sugar, and 1 tin evaporated milk to a small pot.
- Heat over medium heat, stirring until everything is melted and smooth.
- Let it come to a gentle boil for about 1 to 2 minutes, then remove from the heat.
Finish
- Once the tart comes out of the oven, poke a few holes with a skewer.
- Slowly pour the warm sauce over the warm tart, letting it soak in.
- Take your time; it will look way too much, but it all gets absorbed.
- Let it sit for at least 15 to 20 minutes before serving so the sauce settles in properly.
