Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Ube (purple yam), cooked and mashed
• 2 cups Almond flour
• 0.25 cups Coconut flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
• 0.5 cups Coconut oil, melted
• 4 pieces Eggs, large
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups Stevia or erythritol sweetener
• 1.5 teaspoons Ube extract (optional, for enhanced color and flavor)
• 1 teaspoons Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line two 8-inch round cake pans with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until evenly mixed and set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed ube, almond milk, melted coconut oil, eggs, vanilla extract, stevia, and ube extract (if using). Whisk until smooth and well blended.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix until just combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain a light texture.

Step 5

Add the lemon juice and briefly stir to incorporate.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Smooth the tops with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Once cooled, frost with your choice of sugar-free frosting or ube buttercream. Slice and serve!
