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.

Container Gardening: Planting KangKong in Pots (Water Spinach)

By A.M.
Kang kong is a well-known leafy vegetable used in many Philippine dishes. It is quite easy to grow they say. There was a time when you can find kangkong patches on most streets in the neighborhood. It is also called water spinach or swamp cabbage. It thrives in wet, moist areas. Many grow it solely in water. It quickly grows under sunny spots but carers should keep the soil moist. Else, it may die. Some tips: Not much intstructions on planting. Just bury the seed and keep the soil moist or muddy.  Kangkong grows all year round. Cut maybe an inch or two above the soil for continued regrowth and harvesting. Winter may see your plant dying but often, it regrows by spring. You may fertilize with nitrogen twice a month. You may harvest whole plants at about 1 to 2 months. Kangkong has the tendency to spread. Grow in a container for easy maintenance or harvest whole plants to control your supply. It is best to use potting soil for your containers. Putting regular soil in res...

Choose Gratitude!

By A.M.
Gratitude  is how you deal with worry and anxiety.  A grateful heart  helps you get over yourself. As Christians, we are called to practice gratitude every moment, not just when life is going smoothly but especially in the hard moments. Gratitude anchors our hearts to God’s faithfulness and reminds us that we are never alone. Gratitude Helps Us See Beyond Ourselves Somewhere in the world, in this very moment, someone is dying without Jesus. Someone is living it tough. They’re without hope, unaware that God is nearby, ready to save. As followers of Christ, cultivating a heart of gratitude keeps us sensitive to these realities, pushing us to pray, share the Gospel, and love others intentionally. It also moves us to keep appreciating our salvation and security in Christ, now and whatever happens in the future. People are out there, wrestling with the purpose of life. They have never known the presence and loving touch of the One True God. They have yet to experience a r...
