What does ube taste like?

Ube is gently sweet, with a mellow, nutty, vanilla-like flavour and a soft earthy warmth. In this cake it is delicate rather than dessert-heavy, which is why the chiffon sponge feels so light.

Where does ube come from?

Ube is a purple yam native to the Philippines, where it is a much-loved ingredient in cakes, ice cream and traditional sweets. It has become one of the most sought-after flavours in modern patisserie.

Is the cake naturally purple?

The colour and flavour come from real ube extract. Ube is a purple yam, and its purple is what gives the cake its distinctive shade.

Is ube the same as taro or sweet potato?

No. Ube is a purple yam, a different plant from both. Taro is more starchy and pale, and sweet potato has a different flavour. Ube is distinctly sweet and vanilla-like, with its own vivid colour.
