Last month, We went to Chefs & Bakers to buy some baking ingredients, boxes and fondant toppers. We’ve noticed that there’s a new display of pre-mix baking treats. The shelves were organized and packed with Brownie Mix, Cake Mix, Ube Halaya Mix and the one that caught Ed’s attention was the Ube Flour. So we bought 2 packs of Ube Flour and other stuff. I can’t wait to try this flour and make a Cake again, and this time it’s an Ube Sponge Cake. I got the recipe from the Ube Flour packaging itself and it’s very easy. I made some adjustments with the preparation & I cut the recipe in half, just to make sure. The cake turned out good so I’m going to make another batch, so I can come up with a 2 layer cake as tall as 5-inch high :).
Serves : 12 slices
Sponge Cake: (for one layer only)
Frosting: (for one layer only)
Filling:
Toppers:
We Also Need:
To prepare the frosting:
To assemble the cake:
Note: If you’re not going to ice the cake after it cools, you can wrap the cake with a plastic wrap and refrigerate, until needed. I put my cake in the fridge for a while, since I’m planning to make another one so I can come up with a double layer cake. If you’re planning to make a double cake like me just DOUBLE the RECIPE and divide the cake batter into 2 (8×3-inch) round pans and bake it at the same time. And don’t forget to double your frosting recipe as well.
As usual, I’m using my trusted Frosty powder whip cream, but feel free to use your favorite whipping cream recipe or you can replace it with your favorite buttercream frosting.
(behind the scene…hehe) When I made these swirls, I was trying so hard to be patient and relax. It’s not easy to pipe swirls and borders when you don’t have a proper piping bag, right?? I was using this thin plastic bag and I couldn’t squeeze the way I wanted too, because I’m scared that it will burst and it did..lol. But in spite of the the mess, I finished my cake! even if it’s not as neat as I wanted too.
