Prepare guava by peeling and chopping it into small pieces.

Mix all-purpose flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a bowl.

Cream together butter and sugar in a separate bowl until light and fluffy.

Add milk, vanilla extract, and lime juice to the butter mixture; mix well.

Combine the dry ingredients with the wet mixture until just blended.

Fold in chopped guava and raisins gently into the batter.

Spoon the batter into a greased pudding mold or heatproof dish.

Cover the mold tightly with aluminum foil to prevent water from entering.

Place the mold in a large pot filled with water, ensuring water reaches halfway up the sides of the mold.

Steam the guava duff over medium heat for about 1 hour, checking water levels occasionally.

Remove the mold from the pot and let it cool slightly before inverting onto a serving platter.

Serve warm, drizzled with a rum sauce or syrup if desired.
