Ingredients

  • 2 cups cake flour
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon ube extract
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • Food coloring (optional, for enhanced purple hue)

How to Make Ube Cake with Creamy Filling

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the ube extract.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the cake flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.
  6. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. While the cakes cool, prepare the creamy filling. In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and mix until well combined.
  9. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until smooth.
  10. Once the cakes are completely cool, place one layer on a serving plate. Spread a generous amount of the creamy filling on top, then place the second layer of cake on top.
  11. Frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining creamy filling. If desired, add food coloring to any remaining frosting for decoration.
  12. Slice and serve to enjoy this beautiful ube cake!

Tips for the Best Results

  • Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for better mixing.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter; this will keep the cake light and fluffy.
  • Allow the cakes to cool completely before frosting to prevent melting.

Easy Variations

  • Add a layer of ube jam between the cake layers for an extra burst of flavor.
  • Try adding a hint of coconut milk to the batter for a tropical twist.
  • Decorate with shredded coconut or edible flowers for an elegant touch.

What to Serve With It

  • Pair with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful contrast.
  • Serve alongside fresh fruit like strawberries or mango for added sweetness.
  • Enjoy with a cup of coffee or tea to balance the sweetness.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For best results, serve at room temperature. If you prefer, you can also freeze the cake for up to a month; just ensure it’s well wrapped to prevent freezer burn.
