    I baked at 250 degrees F instead for about 30 mins and the texture was perfect. Absolutely loved, thank you for this recipe!!

      Thank you for this! I’m Filipino and grew up with Ube. When I started Keto I was disappointed I’d prob never eat Ube desserts ever again.

          These hit the spot. Would probably give 5 stars if the frosting was a little sweeter. I could not find UBE so I used cake batter extract instead. Yum
