Instructions

Make the Ube Sheet Cake Batter

  • Pre-heat oven to 350F. Spray a 9×12 baking dish with coconut oil.

  • In a bowl mix together the eggs, coconut milk and melted coconut oil (or coconut and vegan butter). Add in the cake mix and stir until there are no lumps.
  • Equally divide the better into 3 separate bowls. In one bowl add in 1 teaspoon Ube Flavoring. In another bowl add in the langka powder and tumeric. In the last bowl add in shredded coconut.
  • Pour in the batter randomly in the baking dish.
  • Bake the Ube Sheet Cake for 20-25 minutes and then leave to cool in the baking dish.

Make Ube Cookie Butter Frosting

  • In a large bowl mix together the ube cookie butter and mascarpone cheese until there are no lumps.
  • Decorate the Ube Sheet Cake
  • Once the cake is fully cooled spread the frosting all over the top of the cake using an off set spatula.
  • Add swirls or take different size forks and make your own design.

Notes

*If you don't have coconut oil you can replace it with ¼ cup coconut butter and ¼ cup vegan butter melted together.
