ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

** ADDIECAKES' NOTES **
• My first batch baked blue. Yes, blue! I added the food coloring to help retain the purple color.
• You can substitute the ube powder for ube paste or ube extract. Unfortunately, I haven't tested the recipe with either of those ingredients so I'm not sure how much to add.
• If you have coconut cream, you can substitute it for the coconut milk for a more stable and stiff whipped frosting.

wow...ive never seen such a vibrant beautiful purple in a cupcake before! and the flavours sounds utterly gorgeous, im a complete coconut addict and every component of these sound like my heaven :) gorgeous recipe indeed
This was a very interesting recipe. The texture was nice and fluffy and not too sweet. The recipe still needs a little work, but I'd like to try it with ube paste or fresh grated ube.
These look and sound AMAZING! Taste test! Taste test! LOL
any idea how much fresh grated ube you could substitute? I'm assuming you would cook the ube until very soft and maybe add it as a puree....
love the coconut frosting! however, even with the addition of food coloring my cupcake still turned into a brownish color
