Recipe Information
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
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line two 8-inch round cake pans with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until evenly mixed and set aside.
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.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix until just combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain a light texture.
Add the lemon juice and briefly stir to incorporate.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Smooth the tops with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
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.
Once cooled, frost with your choice of sugar-free frosting or ube buttercream. Slice and serve!
