Ube Cake - The Not So Creative Cook
So the birthday post continues… (Please check the previous post so you could relate with the rest of the story.) 😀 In the Philippines, we have Burger Steak meal from Jollibee and it is served with rice, mashed potato with toasted garlic and sunny side up eggs. When I posted this on my Instagram account, I, again, drooled over them. (Shhhhh – My followers should be the ones drooling over them!!) I decided to give myself some little stuff (again!) and bought these potato masher, gravy boat and egg ring just for this birthday dinner of mine. (It’s my birthday, anyway!) The amazing thing is, the egg ring could also be used to get a perfect shape for pancakes… and I’ll have to try that after some time. (Can’t it be on my birthday as well?) Burger Steak for my birthday? Check. For the cake, I was saying that something has changed my mind – from Mocha Cake to the purple one. My brother was kind enough to bring me two bottles of Ube Jam, so I thought of making something else out of it aside from eating it or using it on bread. That’s why Mocha Cake was set aside. I so love my version of Mocha Cake, but I also love Ube Cake… and for a change. 😉 (What is Ube? Dioscorea alata, known as purple yam and many other names, is a species of yam, a tuberous root vegetable, that is bright lavender in color. – Wiki) Not bad for a change, eh? But I got my migraine worst after I took a bite – well, because heavy cream + cream cheese is a pain in the head. 😀 I also got a card – you remember the card from Jodi? Well, she was so kind and very sweet to send it to me last month.
