Ube Roll Using Wheat Flour

I thought of baking an Ube Roll out of the Purple Yam spread that I bought before. The absence of all purpose flour in our kitchen made me wonder and tried using wheat flour instead. 

 Wheat Flour Ube Roll

  

Ingredients:

- ½ cup wheat flour

- 6 tbsp purple yam

- 4 pcs. eggs, separate white from yolk

- 13 tbsp granulated white sugar

- 3 tbsp confectioner’s sugar

- 1 tsp baking powder

- ½ tsp vanilla extract

- ½ tsp red food color (optional)

- ½ tsp blue food color (optional)

What you need:

- Mixing bowl

- Hand mixer

- Parchment / wax paper

Procedure:

- Preheat oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit

- In a bowl, combine wheat flour and baking powder, mix well and set aside

- In a separate bowl, combine egg yolk and vanilla extract, using an electric mixer, mix them

- Gradually add first 5 tbsp of granulated sugar, set aside

- In another bowl, beat egg whites until semi peak

- Gradually add 8 tbsp granulated sugar, mix until soft peak

- Add the food colors and beat again to combine the color evenly (this is optional, I just thought of changing the color of the mixture)

- Set aside

- Add the egg yolk mixture to the egg white mixture; and gradually add wheat flour and baking powder mixture

- Grease the wax or parchment paper and put in a flat baking tray

- Pour the mixture and spread evenly

- Bake for 10minutes

- Sprinkle confectioner’s sugar on the top part, cover with another wax paper of the same size

- Use another tray to cover and then flip, making the part with confectioner’s sugar face down

- Sprinkle the (now) top part with confectioner’s sugar and roll (tuck the wax paper and roll, making it remember the form of the roll), set aside to cool down

 

- Once cooled down, unroll the cake and spread the purple yam on top

 

- Roll again (this time remove the wax paper)

- Sprinkle with confectioner’s sugar

- Enjoy :)
