H2: Why This Ube Cake Recipe Reigns Supreme

This isn't your average ube cake. We've addressed common baking pitfalls to ensure a consistently delicious result:

• Stunning Purple Hue: Achieve a vibrant, eye-catching purple color that truly showcases the beauty of ube.
• Easy-to-Follow Instructions: Even beginner bakers can confidently tackle this recipe.

H2: Ingredients You'll Need

For the Ube Cake:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
• 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup ube halaya (ube jam), pureed
• 1 tablespoon ube extract (adjust to taste)

For the Ube Frosting:

• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
• 3-4 cups powdered sugar
• 1/2 cup ube halaya (ube jam), pureed
• 2-3 tablespoons milk (or more, as needed)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Purple food coloring (optional, for a more intense color)

H2: Step-by-Step Baking Instructions

Making the Ube Cake:

1. Preheat & Prep: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
2. Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.
4. Combine: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
5. Ube Power: Gently fold in the pureed ube halaya and ube extract.
6. Bake: Divide batter evenly between prepared pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Cool: Let cakes cool in pans for 10 minutes before inverting onto wire racks to cool completely.

Making the Ube Frosting:

1. Cream Butter & Sugar: Beat butter until light and fluffy. Gradually add powdered sugar, beating until smooth.
2. Ube Infusion: Add pureed ube halaya and vanilla extract. Beat until well combined.
3. Adjust Consistency: Add milk, one tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached. Add food coloring if desired.

H2: Assembling Your Masterpiece

Once the cakes are completely cool, frost the top of one layer with a generous amount of ube frosting. Carefully place the second cake layer on top and frost the entire cake. You can get creative with decorations!

H2: Tips for Ube Cake Perfection

• Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure your butter and eggs are at room temperature for optimal creaming.
• Don't Overmix: Overmixing can lead to a tough cake. Mix until just combined.
• Quality Ingredients: Using high-quality ube halaya and extract will significantly impact the flavor.
• Proper Cooling: Allow the cakes to cool completely before frosting to prevent melting.

Serve your ube cake masterpiece and enjoy! Store leftover cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
