How to Bake an Ube Chiffon Cake. Known as ube in the Philippines, purple yam is a great accompaniment for macapuno in a cake. Ube is often boiled and is eaten as is or made into a sweetened jam called ube halaya, which you would commonly see in pasalubong centers (I just had one from last week's trip to Liliw, Laguna). The resulting ube chiffon cake is so light and fluffy. The use of coconut milk in the batter really helps to bring out the ube notes.
