Ube Cake ala Red Ribbon

Ube, or puple yams, is incorporated with a lot of all possible flavor-infused food in the Philippines, and I’m not lying as I say it. From ice creams, to pandesal or breads, to ordinary plain sweetened ube, up to even cakes, ube is not the flavor to be missing among Filipino treats selection. That is why it became very traditional!

Honestly, I am not a huge fan of this flavor. But I tell you this, I get so weak when it is prepared with the proper combination of ingredients and succumb to eating more than intended. The recipe of my grandma never fails to counter my hate of this purple yam. It’s so tasteful but not in an overpowering manner. I never felt the “fed up” sensation with just a few bites.

Aside from my grandma’s ube, the recipe of red ribbon ube cake surpasses my high standards in terms of the quality taste. Since I am not into the flavor elsewhere, I become super choosy to order ube desserts which causes me to learn the high quality recipe myself. Today, I will be sharing to you what I have learnt.

How to make Ube Cake ala Red Ribbon

As I had researched all the possibilities to make an excellent copy of the ube cake from Red Ribbon, I realized that it is not that quite hard to make. Also, the ingredients are very affordable and convenient.

The procedure of making the best ube cake is divided into accomplishing three parts of the cake: (1) meringue, (2) batter, and (3) frostings. To make the meringue is typically just the whisking of egg whites, cream of tartar, and cup of sugar until stiff peak forms.

For the batter, be careful with the proper measurements of each ingredient so you can arrive with the perfect copy of the ube cake by the famous pastry shop in the Phillipines, Goldilocks. Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, a bit of salt, egg yolks, oil, milk, ube flavoring and the most special ingredient of all, pure ube halaya. Give it a good mix then it’s time to bake.

As for the frostings, make sure to get the high quality products you can find even if they’re just simple ingredients such as purpose cream, sugar, creamcheese, and vanilla essence. The frosting is responsible for perfectly complementing with the ube batter’s overall taste.
