cake with Ube Buttercream Frosting Ube means purple in our dialect. It is also associated with a type of root crop that has an amazing purple color that blends with any food you incorporate with it - the purple yam or simply ube as we call it. The best thing with ube (purple yam) is that it has a natural color blending component that you would not need to add an artificial food coloring anymore.

Ingredients:

2 sticks unsalted butter
1 1/2 cup confectioners sugar (sifted)
1 cup purple yam paste*
1 Tbsp milk
1 Tbsp vanilla extract

*Here's the recipe for purple yam paste:

Steps:

Cream butter, vanilla extract and milk together with hand or stand mixer for 5 to 8 minutes or until butter turns pale.
Gradually add sugar, about 2 tablespoons per addition.
Alternately add a tablespoon of purple yam paste next to each addition of sugar.
Continue beating mixture until fluffy and stable enough to decorate your cakes or cupcakes.

Note: Purple yam paste can be added to any buttercream recipe, but always remember to add just enough to maintain its density/lightness.
