I thought Frusciante wasn't with the band on that album.

no, John joined RHCP during mothers milk, which was prior to Blood Sugar.

I know he wasn't the first guitarist. But I was under the impression that
he took off at some point and returned for CaliforniCation (and that Blood
Sugar Sex Magic was the previous album before CaliforniCation.)

John joined the Red Hot Chili Peppers at 18 for the Mothers Milk album. He
then got disillusioned with touring and left the band after the BSSM tour.
The Chili's then enlisted Dave Navarro for the album "One Hot Minute".
However Navarro did not fit in with the band - for a start he admitted to
not liking funk music. His style of writing was also different to Johns.
Navarro prefered to spend long periods of time working out his guitar solos
etc to perfection on his own, before joining the rest of the band. John
preferred to jam with the band and develop his muisc with the others.

As a result Navarro left the band and John rejoined the band to write the
Californication album.

As for the origina question I;m not sure which two songs John used.
