A blend of smooth vanilla and rich espresso with the gentle nuttiness of ube, this is my Ube Vanilla Latte Tres Leches Cake.
It has a soft espresso sponge soaked in a velvet ube triple milk mixture. Finished with a whipped ube cream, it’s perfectly balanced in flavour, sweet yet rich with the ube adding soft, creamy notes to every single bite.

Here’s Why You’ll Love This Ube Vanilla Latte Tres Leches Cake:
smooth vanilla and rich espresso with the gentle nuttiness of ube
Simple ingredients and very little equipment needed - you literally only need a bowl and whisk to make the sponge!
Easy enough for all beginner bakers
Made without eggs or dairy it can be made vegan and adapted for allergies
Key Ingredients
Flour: The trick to a soft, well risen sponge is self raising flour, in combination with levelling agents (trust me!). Self raising flour is much lighter than plain flour and will give that classic velvet texture.
Yoghurt - this acts as our egg replacer, helping to bind the ingredients together and create that ulta moist texture.
Buttermilk - it's tangy and creamy, giving that ultra moist crumb you know and love about a red velvet cake.
Ube extract: for a bright pop of purple colour and a nutty vanilla flavour
