Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup ube halaya purple yam jam
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter softened
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup coconut milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup chocolate chips

Method
 

  1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin pan with cupcake liners.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add Eggs and Ube: Incorporate the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the ube halaya and vanilla extract until well combined.
  5. Combine Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the ube mixture, alternating with the coconut milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  6. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  7. Fill and Bake: Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full. Bake in the preheated oven for 16-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool: Allow the cupcakes to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
