Ingredients
- 150 grams All-purpose flour
- 120 ml Low-fat milk
- 150 grams Ube puree
- 100 grams Sugar
- 4 Egg whites
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons Cream of tartar
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set this dry mixture aside.
Step 3
In a large bowl, whisk the ube puree, low-fat milk, sugar, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
Step 4
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix until just combined and no lumps remain. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 5
In a separate clean and dry mixing bowl, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar with an electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form.
Step 6
Gently fold a third of the beaten egg whites into the batter to lighten it. Then fold the remaining egg whites in two batches, making sure not to deflate the mixture.
Step 7
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 9
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Serve plain or with a dollop of low-fat whipped cream. Enjoy your low-fat ube cake!
