Ube bars are soft and fluffy cake bars coated with a sweet purple yam (ube) glaze and rolled in desiccated coconut.
Baking time: 35 minutes
Preheated oven 350°F
Ingredients:
Bread
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 Cup white sugar
2 teaspoons of baking powder
1 ¼ cup fresh milk or water
¼ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
Ube Glazed ingredients:
1 Can Ube condensed milk
½ cup Water
1-2 tbsp Ube flavoring as needed
2 cups Toasted desiccated coconut
Procedure:
Add the rest of the dough ingredients and mix just until well combined and blended. You can use a stand mixer or manually by hand.
Pour the thick batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
Bake for 35 minutes in the 350°f preheated oven or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before completely removing it from the pan to a cooling rack. Once the cake has cooled down enough, cut the cake into half then into smaller bars.
UBE Glazed procedure:
Pour condensed milk into a pan then add water. Bring this to a simmer. Add the ube flavoring and mix just until well blended. Turn the heat off and transfer to a flat, deep plate.
Place the desiccated coconut on a plate or wide bowl.
Take a piece of the cake bar and roll it with ube glaze. Then dredge it with desiccated coconut to cover it completely.
Transfer to a serving plate.
Enjoy!
