Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to whip up this delectable Ube Cake:

1 cup ube halaya (purple yam jam)
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
½ cup vegetable oil
6 large eggs, separated
1 cup coconut milk
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Food color (optional, for deeper purple)

Instructions

Now that you’ve got all your ingredients lined up, let’s get baking!

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a round cake pan.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In another bowl, beat the egg yolks and mix in the ube halaya, vegetable oil, coconut milk, vanilla extract, and food color, if using. Stir this mixture until it’s well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, beating until smooth and creamy.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add in the sugar, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the egg whites into the ube batter in thirds, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top.
Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Once cooled, frost or serve the cake as you desire. It’s delicious on its own, but a little whipped cream or coconut frosting never hurts!

And there you have it! A beautiful, fluffy Ube Cake that’s sure to brighten up any day. Enjoy the sweet, nutty flavors of this delightful dessert!
