- 2 cups flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder

- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup milk
- 6 tablespoons oil
- 4 teaspoons Ube flavoring
- 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 F.

Combine flour and baking powder in a bowl and set aside.

In a large bowl, beat the egg yolks on medium speed until lighter in color and slightly thicker.

Add 1/2 cup of the sugar and stir until incorporated. Add the milk, oil, and ube flavoring and stir until combined.
- 5
Add the flour mixture in two additions and stir until the batter is smooth.

In the bowl of a stand mixer ( or use a handheld mixer), whisk the egg whites until frothy. Add the cream of tartar and continue whisking until soft peaks form. Gradually add the remaining 1/2 cup sugar while beating until the egg whites form firm, shiny peaks.

Fold about a third of the meringue into the yolk mixture to thin down the consistency of the yolk batter. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in the remaining meringue 1/3 at a time.

Once the batter is uniform in color, spoon into large muffin molds until 2/3 full.
