 Ingredients: 

• 12oz / 340g or 1 & 1/2 bar cream cheese, softened at room temperature
• 2/3 cup / 135g granulated sugar
• 3 large eggs
• 1/2 cup Ube Jam
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup / 240 ml heavy whipping cream
• 1/2 to 1 tbsp ube extract​

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 450 F / 230 C.

3. Add sugar and beat on medium speed until very smooth. Make sure to scrape sides of bowl. 
4. Add eggs, one at a time beating well after each addition.
5. Add cream, vanilla and ube jam. Beat until well combined.
6. Add cake flour through a sieve, sift then beat on low speed until smooth and silky.
7. Line an 8 x 2 or 8 x 3 round pan with parchment paper by pressing the bottom molding the paper to the pan, and ceasing the sides to hold its shape, covering all the sides all the way up the pan leaving 2" extra on top. 
8. Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan then tap the pan a few times to release air bubbles. 
9. Bake in a preheated oven for 40 minutes or until the top is dark / copper brown. The middle of the cake should still be very jiggly.

11. Refrigerate before serving. 
12. Cut into wedges using a heated knife to get clean slices.
