Ingredients:

Dry Ingredients:
1 cup cake flour
1.5 tsp baking powder
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 tsp salt

Wet Ingredients:
4 egg yolks
1/4 cup canola oil
1/3 cup milk
1/4 cup ube halaya
2 tsp ube extract
1/2 tsp purple food coloring

Meringue Mixture:
4 egg whites
1/2 tsp cream of tartar
1/3 cup sugar

Frosting:
2 cups heavy cream (very cold)
8 oz cream cheese (cold)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract

Confectioner's sugar for rolling the cake
Macapuno (coconut sport) strings - about 1/2 cup needed
Alternative Buttercream Frosting Recipe:

(This is more stable, and will hold at room temperature in the summer or in warmer climates, like the Philippines!)

Ingredients:
5 egg whites
1.5 cups sugar
1 lb unsalted butter
1 tsp vanilla extract

Procedure:
- Whisk together 5 egg whites and 1.5 cups of sugar in a glass or stainless steel bowl.
- Then heat in a low heat water bath while continuing to whisk, till the sugar is dissolved (when it feels sticky to touch, and you hardly feel the grains of sugar anymore).
- Take it off water bath. And using an electric mixer, beat this mixture until it is glossy and stiff peaks form. Let it cool down to room temperature.
- When it is back to room temperature, continue beating and slowly add 1 lb of room temperature (unsalted) butter a little at a time (I slice them into 1 or 2 tablespoon size cubes).
- When the butter is fully mixed in, add 1 tsp of vanilla extract and mix until smooth.
- Continue to frost the ube roll like in the video.
