Easy Mamon Recipe to Go with Your Coffee and Tea

filipino mamon

Mamon or Filipino mamon is a yummy treat that goes well with your morning coffee and afternoon tea.  Filipino mamon is the same as a sponge cake but served in smaller serving sizes.

Some people call Pinoy mamon a mini-chiffon cake. And mamon can actually be both.

Mamon is a sponge cake because it uses the 3 basic ingredients that make a sponge cake: flour, egg, and sugar.

Filipino mamon is also a chiffon cake because fluffy mamon is made using meringue and similar to making a chiffon, you  use a folding technique.

It is easy to make yourself some easy homemade mamon. Follow the easy mamon recipe steps below. Just don't stress while baking. And celebrate a job well done by sinking your teeth into your freshly baked mamon.

You may cool this mamon recipe in the fridge if you don't like warm mamon slices. Be warned, though. If you bake good fluffy or even spongey mamon, it's hard to stop with just one slice.


Easy Mamon Recipe Ingredients

Yes, practice mise en place! Ready the following mamon recipe ingredients below.

  • mamon mold, cupcake pan, or cake pan (round or square, your choice!)
  • softened salted butter for brushing your pan.


For Mamon Recipe Dry ingredient bowl

  • 1 cup or 120 grams of cake flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/3 cup or 67 grams of white sugar (granulated sugar)


For Baked Mamon Wet Ingredients-Egg Yolk bowl (A)

  • 1/4 cup or 57 grams salted butter (melt it and use when cool)
  • 6 egg yolks
  • 1/4 cup or 59 ml water


For Pinoy Mamon Wet Ingredients-Egg White bowl (B)

  • 6 egg whites
  • 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1/2 cup or 100 grams sugar


Toppings for This Fluffy Mamon

  • softened salted butter
  • caster sugar
  • grated cheddar cheese


Easy Baked Mamon Recipe Steps

  1. Generously butter up your baking pan.
  2. Measure out and sift dry ingredients into one bowl. Mix and blend.
  3. Measure out and drop wet ingredients-A into one bowl. Mix and blend on low speed. (1 minute or so)
  4. Pour in the blended dry ingredients into yolk bowl. Mix and blend on low speed. (1 minute or so)
  5. Preheat oven to 162°C or 325°F.
  6. Measure out and drop wet ingredients-B into one bowl. Mix on high speed until you can form a stable enough peak after you lift the mixer paddles. (Don't make it into a stiff meringue, just a soft one.)
  7. Fold contents of yolk bowl into white bowl. Fold just to blend. Be gentle and do not over-fold. Otherwise, the foamy texture will lessen or collapse.
  8. Pour out the light, foamy mamon batter into your buttered molds or pan.
  9. Bake mamon (in molds) for 15 to 20 minutes. Bake mamon pans for 25-35 minutes. Watch that you don't over-dry the mamon. You'd like a light to crisp brownish color, not a deep brown one.
  10. Take baked moist mamon out of the oven. Remove it from the molds or pan when it is cool enough to touch.
(Optional)
11. Lather some softened butter on top.
12.  Sprinkle some caster sugar next.
13. Grate some cheddar cheese all over.
14. Let the Filipino mamon fully cool on a wire rack.
15. Then slice mamon pan to serve.


Preheating time, cooking time, and positioning in the oven will vary finished product texture and moisture content.


Side notes on this easy mamon recipe

Make cake flour using all-purpose flour: Measure out 1 cup all-purpose flour. Take out 2 tablespoons. Replace them with 2 tablespoons of cornstarch.

Let the baked mamon cool in the pan for a moist mamon.

Cut the baking time by some minutes to leave the middle part a bit wet and creamy.

Round mamon pans are best, if you want to leave an underbaked creamy spot at the center.

Why Am I Sleepy During the Day?

By A.M.
What's causing your eyes and brain to shut down during the day? Why can't you keep your eyes open just when you really need to get some work or reading done? If you’ve been asking yourself, “ Why am I sleepy during the day ?” or struggling with that mid-morning or afternoon crash, you’re not alone. Millions of people deal with daytime sleepiness that makes it hard to focus, stay productive, or even enjoy daily activities. The good news? Most causes are simple and fixable once you know what’s behind that drowsy feeling. Too Many Carbs – A Common Cause of Daytime Fatigue If you're not careful, you can over-consume carbohydrates.

When Did Church Become About Us?

By A.M.
When did  church and worship become centered around man? We sit during 'Sunday' (whatever day you have it) church and it’s become a program. Lots of noise and distraction. So many things happening. So many people talking. By the time we get to the message, the congregation is already tired from information overload and overstimulation. The message is the last one in, and it’s a sad thing that leaders feel the need to decorate Sunday worship with entertainment. Lots of announcements. Fun segments. Entertainment. Yes, connecting points. These are all important for fellowship. Just maybe not too many. And not one after another. Maybe, finish our main business first -  and that is to hear from God. And then after, we can hear from each other. Why is God’s voice often the last item? In a day and age when attention spans have shrunk so much, this is not a good thing. The Real Way to “Liven Up” Church Some leaders zero in on ways to liven up the church and come up with too...
