Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Grease and flour a baking pan.

In a bowl, combine all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

In another bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Stir in the ube, coconut milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top.

Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth.

Fold in whipped cream and grated cheese until well combined for the frosting.

Once the cake is cool, spread the frosting evenly over the top.

Decorate with additional grated cheese or ube if desired.
