Description

This recipe, adapted from Abi Balingit's book Mayumu, channels the flavors of a classic Filipino ube macapuno cake (ube chiffon, buttercream, and syrupy coconut strands) into a different form: oozy lava cake. The distinctive flavor of ube comes both from ube extract and ube halaya, which get mixed with white chocolate to form the sweet, molten interiors. To achieve those ooey-gooey centers, be sure to avoid overbaking.This recipe was one of our Bake of the Week features for May 2024.
