💡 Baking Tip
- Weigh your ingredients! One of my favorite kitchen tools is a kitchen scale because it’s more accurate than measuring by volume. If you use cups, spoon the sugar in gently, then level it with a knife or spatula.
How to Make Fluffy Ube Cream Cheese Frosting
In a medium mixing bowl, whip together softened cream cheese, powdered sugar (to taste), and ube extract until smooth.
