Ube Macapuno Roll With Cream Cheese Icing

This is very easy recipe, I used frozen mashed ube and cream cheese macapuno filling. For the icing, so simple cream cheese,powdered sugar and some purple food coloring.Roll the cake into  a dusted powdered sugar cheese cloth while still hot and leave it rolled to an hour while you prepare  the icing and no cracks on the cake see the pictures.My frosting has a rich purple color but it looked dull in the picture. My husband and kids loved it.
