That Color Purple: Ube Cupcakes

in Recipes by

I should be inserting something witty, funny, inspirational here before the recipe but I don’t have time to spare right now. Well, not that I have it in me to be witty, funny or inspirational but a friend is waiting for me to post this thing (Hi, Jo! :D).

Truth be told, I’m not really sure if I will edit this once published. Chalk it up to motherhood, solo parenting, and four kids. There’s just so many things to do and not enough time in a day. I know, me and my excuses 😛

So I suggest you don’t hold your breath waiting. But you’re free to come back and check later. As in much, much, much later.

Or maybe not.

I kid, I kid. Why would I ask you not to drop by? It gets lonely around here, so I would really appreciate your visit. So do come back when you have time to see what’s on my baking agenda. Or just to see if I’m still alive hahaha!

See you then, folks!

    Thank you for sharing the recipe and it made the weekend of the kids a blast!

    Watching out for the other recipes :X

  2. Hi! I am also from zamboanga and i wanna try your ube cupcakes. I just want to ask where can i buy the ube jam and also heavy cream here in zamboanga?

    • Hi Claire! Thanks for visiting. I used ube powder for this recipe because I could not find ube jam anywhere in the city. As for heavy cream, try checking FilTrend or Top Taste. Happy baking!!! 🙂

  3. Thanks for sharing this one. I only got a problem in baking cupcakes. It always end up with a crack on top and a bit dry. can you give some suggestions to have the same consistency as yours?
    Others suggest that I must only use the bottom heater and place water on the top most part to make it moist.
    Thanks in advance. (www.ourfamilyblogsabout.info)
