Ube Velvet Cake, Union's Original Menu
Union's Ube Velvet Cake centres on purple yam, layered with frosting and crumbs. It combines a soft sponge cake, creamy frosting, and a crunchy yam crumb topping. Together, these three elements create a texture that's both unique and addictive.
Union first introduced this cake at its PIK Avenue outlet in limited quantities. Its bold, distinctive flavor set it apart from typical cakes and won over a growing number of fans. Today, you can find it at every Union outlet across Jakarta, Tangerang, and Surabaya.
What Makes Union Ube Velvet Cake Different?
What sets Union's Ube Velvet Cake apart is its frosting and crumb topping, both made from real purple yam. This mix keeps the cake's sweetness comfortable to enjoy, paired with just the right texture.
The decoration adds to its charm too, finished with mini macarons and white sugar flowers. The harmonious colors and careful placement keep the cake looking neat, whether sliced or still whole.
Every Layer of Ube Velvet Cake
Every slice of Union's Ube Velvet Cake has three main layers, each with its own flavor and texture:
1. Coconut Sponge
The base of this cake is a sponge cake blended with coconut for a light, savory touch. Its soft texture lets you enjoy every slice without feeling too full.
2. Ube Frosting
On top of the sponge sits a soft ube frosting layer with natural sweetness in every bite. Paired with the sponge, the frosting never feels heavy, so the two blend well.
3. Yam Crumbs
The top layer is a crunchy yam crumb topping that contrasts with the soft frosting and sponge beneath it. Every bite brings together crunch and softness for a complete sensation.
