Happy Holidays!
What is better than Filipino delicacy, a scrumptious ube cake, for Holiday dessert?
Yesterday, 12/23/14, was not a good time to buy groceries for fresh ingredients. Grocery stores are packed and lines were long. I wanted to get the freshest ingredients as possible for ube cake. I actually baked two ube cakes - one for my mom's dinner get-together tonight, 12/24/14 and one for my in-laws that we will take with us tomorrow for Christmas dinner.
I did not expect that my in-laws (mom, dad, and sister) would love a Filipino delicacy. The actual loved my ube cake. During their visit, I baked an ube cake that they can take with them back in Maryland. This time it is decorated with the Christmas adornment rather than just covered with buttercream.
I am pleased with myself. I am getting better with handling buttercream. Getting a smooth surface has been a challenge. Without photo-enhancement, the surface really came out clean and smooth.
