A purple dessert cake made with ube yams and condensed milk.
Ingredients
2 pounds ube (purple yam)
1 can (14 ounces) evaporated milk
2 cans (12 ounces) condensed milk
1/2 cup butter or margarine
1/2 teaspoon of vanilla

In a pot, boil the unpeeled ube yam in water and simmer for 30 minutes. Drain and let cool. Peel and finely grate the ube yam.
Heat a big wok in medium heat. Melt butter or margarine, add the condensed milk and vanilla flavoring. Mix well. Add the grated ube yam, adjust the heat to low and keep on mixing the ingredients for about 30 minutes or until sticky and a bit dry (but still moist).
