Ingredients

The following ingredients have 12 Servings
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 8 large eggs, egg yolks and egg whites separated
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 6 tablespoons oil
  • 4 teaspoons Ube flavoring
  • 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350 F.  
  • Combine flour and baking powder in a bowl and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, beat the egg yolks on medium speed until lighter in color and slightly thicker. 
  • Add 1/2 cup of the sugar and stir until incorporated. Add the milk, oil, and ube flavoring and stir until combined.
  • Add the flour mixture in two additions and stir until the batter is smooth.
  • 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 1/2 cup sugar while beating until the egg whites form firm, shiny peaks.
  • 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 1/3 at a time. 
  • Once the batter is uniform in color, spoon into large muffin molds until 2/3 full. 
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 17 to 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
