Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup full-fat coconut milk
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until combined.
  3. In another bowl, cream the melted butter and sugar until light and fluffy (about 3-5 minutes).
  4. Add eggs one at a time to the butter mixture, mixing well after each addition.
  5. Fold in the mashed Ube, coconut milk, and vanilla extract until fully blended.
  6. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until just combined to keep the batter fluffy.
  7. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and smooth out the tops.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let cakes cool for about 10 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
  10. Frost with your favorite icing once cooled.
