Ube and leche flan — two of the most Pinoy desserts ever. They’re both good on their own: ube is smooth and mildly sweet, while leche flan is creamy and soft and silky and often tooth-rotting sweet. But when you combine them together, they make a heavenly pair. (Just think about how good a cup of halo-halo is whenever they’re both present!) So it comes as no surprise that a cake combining these two Pinoy favorites are gaining popularity. These ube leche flan cakes or ube custard cakes usually have an ube base topped with a leche flan layer, combining the best of both worlds to create the ultimate Pinoy dessert, and here’s where you can get them.
