Ube Cake Recipe 385

UBE-MACAPUNO CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line bottoms of 3 - 9 inch pans with parchment paper, but do not grease. Mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
• Place grated ube in a large bowl. Mix together 3/4 cup milk and 1 teaspoon vanilla; gradually blend into ube until smooth. Blend in corn syrup, egg yolks, and oil. Beat in flour mixture until smooth; set aside.
• In a large glass or metal mixing bowl, beat egg whites with cream of tartar until foamy. Gradually add sugar, then red and blue food coloring, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form. Fold 1/3 of the whites into the batter, then quickly fold in remaining whites until no streaks remain. Pour batter into prepared pans.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the center of cake bounces back when lightly tapped. Invert pans on a wire rack and let cool upside down. When cool, run a knife around the edges to loosen cake from pans. Fill between layers with coconut preserves, then frost top and sides with butter icing.
• To make Butter Icing: Combine evaporated milk and 3/4 cup sugar. set aside. Cream butter until light and fluffy; gradually add sugar mixture, and continue beating to desired spreading consistency. Add food color, one drop at a time until desired tint is achieved.

UBE CAKE (FILIPINO PURPLE YAM CAKE)

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350F. Line the bottom of 3 8-inch round baking pans with parchment paper and set aside.
• In a large bowl, sift 2 ½ cups cake flour, 2 ½ teaspoons baking powder and ½ teaspoon salt.
• In a smaller bowl, combine 2 teaspoons ube extract, ½ cup vegetable oil and ½ cup milk. Set aside.
• In another large bowl, using a handheld electric mixer, beat egg yolks while gradually adding ⅓ cup sugar until the mixture is light yellow (about 7 minutes on medium-high speed).
• Add ½ cup ube jam and beat until smooth and no big lumps remain. If you want your cake to be a vibrant purple, you can add gel food colour at this stage and give the batter a stir until the colour is evenly distributed.
• Fold a third of your flour mixture into your egg mixture just until combined. Then add half of your milk mixture, another third of your flour, the rest of your milk and finally the rest of your flour, folding each addition just until combined. Be careful not to overwork the batter.
• Using a stand mixer with the whisk attachment (or your handheld electric mixer - making sure that the beaters are clean, dry and grease-free), beat the 8 egg whites on medium-high speed until they start to get foamy.
• Then add 1 teaspoon cream of tartar and beat until very frothy.
• Gradually add ¾ cup sugar into egg whites until you reach stiff peaks.
• Take about 1 ½ cups of the meringue and fold it into your cake batter to lighten it.
• Then fold your cake batter into the meringue in thirds until incorporated.
• Transfer the cake batter to prepared pans and bake for 20-30 mins or until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out with minimal crumbs.
• Put the pans upside down on a cooling rack and cool completely.
• See this recipe on how to make basic Swiss meringue buttercream.
• Once your buttercream has come together, start adding ¼ teaspoon ube extract at a time until you get the flavour you desire (I put 1 teaspoon total). Whip until the flavour is fully incorporated and the buttercream is evenly coloured.
• Trim the tops of your cakes if they are uneven. Trim the sides too to get rid of the brown edges so you're left with a vibrant purple cake.
• Fill and decorate with frosting as desired.
