# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 -
If you’re in the mood, whip up more heavy cream and cover the cake with it. Throw some fresh fruit on top before you dig in.
02 -
Cover it up and chill in the fridge for at least an hour so everything gets nice and tasty.
03 -
Once the cake’s totally cool, poke a bunch of holes on top with a fork. Gently pour all the milk mix over, making sure it soaks in everywhere. Leave it alone for half an hour.
04 -
Grab a bowl and mix together heavy cream, condensed milk, evaporated milk, and a few drops of ube extract if you want.
05 -
Pull the cake out of the oven. Let it chill in the pan for ten or fifteen minutes, then take it out and cool it all the way on a rack.
06 -
Pop it in your hot oven for about 30 to 35 minutes. You’ll know it’s done when a toothpick comes out without goop.
07 -
Get the batter into your greased cake pan and use a spatula to even it out on top.
08 -
Little by little, tip the dry stuff into the wet bowl. Whisk it gently until you’ve got a smooth batter with no lumps.
09 -
Use a big bowl to mix up eggs, ube puree, milk, oil, sugar, and vanilla. Beat it until everything’s mixed and you don’t see chunks.
10 -
In a different bowl, use a whisk to blend flour, salt, and baking powder so it’s all mixed together.
11 -
Turn your oven on to 350°F (175°C) and grease a round 9-inch pan so nothing sticks.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Toss a few drops of ube extract into the batter or the milk mix if you want a bolder shade and taste.
02 -
Chilling the whole thing in the fridge soaks it with all that good flavor and moisture.
