🍽️ Easy Mamon (Filipino Sponge Cake)
Make soft Filipino mamon at home: light individual sponge cakes made with a yolk batter and folded meringue, then finished with optional butter, sugar, or grated cheese.
Key ingredients:
• cake flour (120g)
• caster or granulated sugar (50g)
• baking powder (1tsp)
• fine salt (1g)
• egg yolks (4pieces)
• whole milk (60ml)
• corn oil (60ml)
• egg whites (4pieces)
How it comes together:
1. Heat the oven to 160C conventional / 140C fan (320F). Place 10 ungreased 4-inch mamon molds on a baking tray. Do not use paper liners; the batter needs the mold sides to climb as it rises.
2. Sift the cake flour, 50 g sugar, baking powder, and salt together three times into a bowl. This follows the recorded formula and distributes the leavening evenly through the low-protein flour.
3. In a second bowl, whisk the yolks, milk, and corn oil until smooth. Add the dry ingredients and whisk only until no dry streaks remain.
1. In a clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar until foamy. Add the remaining 60 g sugar gradually while mixing on medium speed.
2. Continue until the meringue is glossy and at medium-stiff peaks: a peak should hold its shape with a slight bend at the tip. Stop before it becomes dry, grainy, or clumped.
