Mamon Recipe

Mamon is a popular sponge cake in the Philippines and is considered to be among the top 10 pastries in the country. Unlike other sponge cakes, this amazing creation is individually packaged with serving sizes usually good for just one person. Filipino Yellow Sponge Cake is also another term used to refer to it.

Do you remember where you had your first Mamon? I had my very first Mamon from Goldilocks and I loved it since then. I am just curious, before the extreme commercialization of baked products in the Philippines, would you know as to where this masterpiece first came into being? I believe that there is a single province or city in the Philippines where this pastry first became popular; I’m planning to give that place a visit next month during my vacation to be able to have an authentic Mamon experience.

Try this Mamon Recipe and let me know what you think.

    I tried it. Texture is excellent like Goldilocks but the problem is when it cools it becomes hard unlike goldilocks na kahit luma malambot. Can you tell me why please.
    do we need to put this in a baking paper like cup cakes?

    Instead of using lemon juice, can I use lemon essence? should I use the same measurements? Thanks!

    Hi Kuya, i was able to buy cake flour here. I made this yesterday, and it tastes good. The only problem i had is when the mamon cools, it collapse. Do you know what i could be doing wrong? Thanks.

    Hi, first of all I wish to thank you for sharing all the wonderful recipes
    my enquiry is it possible to use 1/2 cup of melted butter instead of veg. oil?
    Will the texture of the cake be affected?
    Wishing you all the best and may God continue to shower you with his blessings.

    Really really nice recipe. My first attempt to bake mamon…and it turned out so good. Texture really soft. After baking I spread softened butter on top and roll into a plate of sugar then put some shredded edam cheese. I’ll try to use lemon and orange extract next time for added flavor.

    I am not so fond of making sponge cake because it’s so tedious…but you made it so easy.

    Thank you for sharing! 🙂
