Ube Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting

Hello all!! Today I am bringing you a recipe for ube flavoured genoise sponge cake. The ube is a purple yam originally from the Philippines and has a mellow, nutty, vanilla-like flavour. Traditional ube cakes are made of chiffon sponge with addition of ube jam. There are various ube cake recipe online that are authentic so feel free to check them out. :)

I tested this recipe multiple time and decided to go with genoise sponge base instead of chiffon base. The ube extract I used in my video gives sufficient ube flavour and amazingly vibrant purple colour.
