Ingredients

  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 8 large eggs, egg yolks and egg whites separated
  • 1 cup sugar
  • ½ cup milk
  • 6 tablespoons oil
  • 4 teaspoons ube flavoring
  • ½ teaspoon cream of tartar

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 350 F.  
  2. Combine flour and baking powder in a bowl and set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the egg yolks on medium speed until lighter in color and slightly thicker. 
  4. Add ½ cup of the sugar and stir until incorporated. Add the milk, oil, and ube flavoring and stir until combined.
  5. Add the flour mixture in two additions and stir until the batter is smooth.
  6. In the bowl of a stand mixer ( or use a handheld mixer), whisk the egg whites until frothy. Add the cream of tartar and continue whisking until soft peaks form. Gradually add the remaining ½ cup sugar while beating until the egg whites form firm, shiny peaks.
  7. Fold about a third of the meringue into the yolk mixture to thin down the consistency of the yolk batter. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in the remaining meringue ⅓ at a time. 
  8. Once the batter is uniform in color, spoon into large muffin molds until ⅔ full. 
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 17 to 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Notes

  • Separate the egg yolks from the egg whites while they are still cold from the refrigerator.
  • Let the egg whites stand for about 30 minutes before whipping, as they get the most volume at room temperature.
