Wondering what these violet-colored cupcakes are? 🍮🧁🍠💜💜💜They are actually known as the Ube Leche Flan Cupcakes, all made with love by the talented baker behind @sweetbakes_bytrixie. Trixie has successfully recreated her version of @cafe_86’s ( a Filipino Cafe in Pasadena, California) famous Ube Flan cupcakes and they taste as good as it looks! If you have a sweet tooth, this may be the perfect treat for you. Personally think that this could be a little too sweet for my liking but the winning combination of the flan & cupcake kept me wanting more, so I guess it’s still a YAY for me? 💜🤣The texture of flan was smooth & creamy, not forgetting the cupcakes that were moist & soft too :) You’ve nailed this for sure!
To further elaborate, it’s like eating two desserts at once because you get to taste both the flan & ube cupcakes at the same time. Also if you are wondering, the Leche Flan is actually a well-known Filipino dessert made with only egg yolks, milk, sugar and vanilla extract - and it’s basically the Filipino version of creme caramel. They are very similar & look exactly the same. When you put together both ube and leche flan, you will be able to witness the formation of a mouthwatering marriage lol 🤩
It’s my first time seeing and tasting this cupcake because ube desserts are certainly not common in Malaysia. In fact we rarely see the feature of this bright purple bestie across the grids of our feed, so kudos to Trixie for introducing us to this wonderful creation. Thanks for making it happen!
Ohhh, for those that are still reading and if you’ve lost me in the beginning, just so you know the gorgeous hue you see from the cupcake actually comes from this magical tuberous vegetable called ‘Ube’ (it’s pronounced as Ooh-Beh/Bae). And what they usually do with Ube is to make Ube Halaya/ Halayang Ube (Boiled & Mashed purple yam which serves as the main base for ube-flavoured pastries or even ice cream).
Ube sounds similar to how we pronounce Potato in Bahasa (“Ubi) actually but do take note they don’t taste the same, haha!
