Coconut cream is dairy-free and provides a rich texture.

Prepare a 25 by 30 centimeters rectangular cake pan by brushing it with softened butter and placing baking paper on top.

Separate 4 large eggs, placing the egg whites in one bowl and the yolks in another.

In the bowl with the egg yolks, add 30 grams of white sugar and oil, then whisk until well combined.

Slowly add hot milk to the egg yolk mixture and whisk.

Sift cake flour into the mixture and whisk until combined.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk the egg whites until bubbles form, then gradually add 60 grams of white sugar and mix until stiff peaks form.

Fold the meringue mixture into the ube mixture, scooping roughly a third of the meringue at a time and folding carefully until just combined.

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, flatten the top with a spatula, and gently slam the pan on the table three times to remove air bubbles.

Bake in a preheated oven at 160 degrees Celsius for 25 minutes.

Remove the cake from the oven and pull it out of the pan using the baking paper.

While the cake is still warm, place baking paper on top and roll the cake from the short end to the other end, then place seam side down to cool completely.

In a medium-sized bowl, pour heavy cream and chill the bowl for 10 minutes before using.

Start whipping the cream using an electric mixer, and after 30 seconds, gradually add sugar and cornstarch.

Add ube extract and continue whipping until medium to stiff peaks form.

Gently unroll the cooled cake and remove the baking paper, then spread ube cream evenly over the cake.

Roll the cake again carefully, following the curl of the cake.

Slice off the ends of the cake to make it flat, then ice the outside of the cake and smooth the surface with a scraper.

Leave around a cup of ube cream in a piping bag with a piping tip to decorate the top of the cake with swirls.

Let the cake rest in the fridge for one to two hours before slicing and serving.
