Special Mamon (mala-Goldilocks)

Special Mamon
Well, at least"Special Mamon na mala-Goldilocks" was my first thought when I tasted this milk sponge cake the first time I made one for the base cake of crema de fruta. And I was not the only one who had the same opinion. The latest comment I received for crema de fruta was from Joy Leaming, who said the cake itself tasted like mamon from Goldilocks.

I would have wanted to wait until I receive my recently ordered brioche molds, but munchkin mommy's mamon post just made me crave it earlier, so I made these using muffin pans mostly. I have made this again and again once I received my brioche molds that I ordered from amazon.

Usually, sponge cakes tend to be dry and "nakakasamid" (sorry if I could not grope for the equivalent English term), that only with frosting or filling will they be redeemed. My hubby is not particularly fond of sponge cakes for this reason. But when he tried this milk sponge cake that I made into mamon (just by using muffin cups and brioche molds instead of a cake pan) he liked it; he had to eat two pieces. He said it was like the Twinkies (yeah, he is such a junkie for junk foods). I love it with coffee. My kids loved this special mamon as well.

I added the word "special" to this not because it is a better recipe than other sponge cakes you will find on the net, but to distinguish it from the ordinary mamon one will find in the neighborhood bakeries in the Philippines, which is also called "kababayan." Kababayan is more like muffins. I liked kababayan only when freshly out of the oven, with a crunchy outside. When it had cooled down completely, it did not appeal to me at all. So there really is not much motivation for me to seek out the recipe for kababayan. Special mamon, on the other hand, is just so good, that even if I end up with leftovers, (which I doubt will ever happen) I can turn it into mamon tostado, which is another favorite of mine.

This recipe for milk sponge cake was lifted off the recipe for Boston Cream Pie from baking911.


Ingredients:
1 cup sifted cake flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup milk
3 tablespoons unflavored vegetable oil
3 large eggs, room temperature
1 egg yolk, room temperature (edited as of 4/21: you might want to save the egg white of this, whip until fluffy and firm, then fold in with the batter before placing in baking pan)
2/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla (plus optional few drops of lemon extract)

Instructions:
{I have lost my photos that I had earlier with slide.com, so please pardon the lack of step-by-step photos at this time. I hope the instructions are clear enough for you to imagine how it is done. Someday, I might have the gumption to try making a video of this. ~ MK, 3/10/12}

Adjust rack in lower third of oven and preheat to 350 degrees. Grease/butter (softened butter is preferable) and flour your muffins pans or brioche mold (make sure the corners get a good brushing with grease/butter).

Sift flour, baking powder and salt. In a small bowl add the the milk and oil; do not be concerned that they do not blend together.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, yolk and sugar to combine. Using an electric mixer at medium speed, whip the egg mixture until it is light ivory in color and very fluffy, about 6 minutes. Add the vanilla [plus lemon extract, if using] toward the end of whipping. Using a rubber spatula, fold in the flour mixture in two additions. Pour the milk mixture down the side of the mixing bowl. (It will sink to the bottom of the bowl under the batter.) Gently fold until the milk mixture is thoroughly incorporated. [edited 4/21/09: If you whipped the egg white as mentioned above in the ingredients, fold it in at this point.) Pour the batter into the greased muffin pans/brioche molds. Bake 15 to 18 minutes or until the cake is golden on top and it springs back when lightly pressed in the center. Remove from oven then tap against a wire rack so the mamon falls off from muffin pans (it is important to remove from molds right away; otherwise, if you cool these in the tin molds, they will sweat at the bottoms, soaking that part of the cake. It might then turn hard once cooled and taken of the tin molds.) . Place the mamon upright on the wire rack and let cool completely (about 5-10 minutes; check against your cheek). Place in plastic bags right away those that you will not consume. Keep on countertop instead of the refrigerator. Enjoy plainly or with frosting (buttercream suggested) or filling (custard or jams suggested) if you like.

UPDATE: This special mamon recipe was tried, liked, and posted about by Ebie of the Main Ingredient, complete with beautiful photos and a narrative in her native language Bisaya.

  1. ooh, yummy! i love how they look so big! hee hee. and i also don't know the english translation for the word "nakakasamid". :D

  3. Manang, thank you for your recipe...just finish baking them and my kids looove them, they said they taste exactly the same like the ones in the Philippines.

    I am so happy that they turned out good for my first try. I found your site trying to find a pandesal recipe, which I have not succeded with numerous tries (the dough was so soft and sticky), either with manual kneading or bread machine way.

    Anyways, this recipe was easy to make. SALAMAT :)

  4. Hi Anonymous!
    Thank you for commenting on your experience! It means a lot to me!
    re pandesal, is it the pandesal I have here? If it is and you find it sticky (which I don't), some suggestions would be to grease your hands with some shortening (like applying little bit of lotion) also wipe the countertop with some shortening using a paper towel.

  10. Hi Luz,

    not quite sure what you meant (it seems your keyboard was going awry when you were typing)...anyway, it seems like you had a good turn out despite using all purpose flour!

  11. Hi Manang,
    I'm sorry I missed a word on my previous comment. I meant that I made my own cake flour.. I searched on the web ..to make your own cake flour is to use 1 cup of All purpose flour minus 2tbsp. and substitute 2tbsp. cornstarch, I am sure you know that too ,I got it from Joy of Baking.I guess it works :)

  12. Hi Manang,
    What kind of milk do I need to use for this mamon? Is it evap or fresh milk? Can you also specify the milk you used for your soft ensaymada? Thanks!

  13. Hi basyang,
    I use fresh milk for both. If I have to use evap milk, I speecify it as evap milk (like in leche flan or monay). :)

  14. manang, i've tried your mamon recipe today the taste is really delicious but the texture is not that soft medyo parang napipit na mamon ang texture ng ilalim. the thing na nasobrahan ako ng lagay is the vanilla extract.why it turns out like that? did i do something wrong or kulang?

    nga po pala, i would like to THANK YOU for posting and updating recipes. Not only your giving us another treat/dish to serve to our family but also giving us the knowledge and ideas to make it more yummy-ness! like i made them spanish bread, pandesal and pan de coco, they love it so much! Thank you for sharing it with us expecially like us who trully missed our food in the Philippines.

    ReplyDelete
  15. hi jane,
    I can only think that probably, kulang ang pagka-mix (so yung batter hindi ganon na-incorporate sa egg white). Or baka pagkatapos mo ilagay sa brioche molds (or muffin tins), natagalan bago ibake (so that yung batter which is heavier than the whites tended to sink). I don't think vanilla extract would be the problem there.

    Thanks for letting me know about how your family love the spanish bread, pandesal and pan de coco. I just made spanish bread two days ago and I am gonna make them again today. I mixed in raspberry flavored feta cheese to the flour (I grabbed the wrong feta cheese and thought I probably could use it on some sweet type of bread). It was awesome! You should also try the supersoft ensaymada, super easy gawin.

  19. i tried this and it's the loveliest mamon recipe ever. haha. other flopped quite literally.
    question lang though, how come parang nagsisink sa bottom ng pan yung batter ko tapos nahihirapan siyang mag rise? kasi yung bottom parating heavier than the top, hindi pantay pantay. papano kaya yon?
    also, when you say na sa lower third ng oven, is this for ovens with fire on top or bottom> hehe kasi dati the oven i used has heat top and bottom, yung ngayon only has fire sa bottom.
    hmmm, last na pala, i tried mixing powdered coffee sa dry ingredients but it made the batter heavy at naging parang jelly sa bottom ng pan! haha dapat ba dinissolve ko sa milk?
    :D

  20. Hi mavicity,
    thanks for your feedback! Please read my comment above addressed to jane. She had the same problems. Check out my reply to see if that could have solved your problem.
    Re coffee, I have not tried that,(although I experienced adding powdered ube to make ube roll cake and it had the same effect on the batter -- came out heavy), and yeah, I think dissolving in warm milk could probably solve that (but I cannot be too sure how coffee would affect the texture here).

  22. Sige mavicity...update me please kung mage-experiment ka with coffee...

  23. Mavicity and Manang: If you intend to make mocha flavoured mamon, it is best to disslove the coffee in the milk. If you are using evap (diluted, heat the water and dissolve the instant coffee and add the evap. and just like in MOCHA CHIFFON CAKE,I find that Nescafe instant coffee works best (I AM NOT IN ANYWAY CONNECTED TO NESCAFE!). I have tried other brands!

    Manang: Have you tried making chiffon cakes into Mamon? It is light and can easily be used to add any flavouring...orange zest, lemon, burnt almond, butter pecan, etc.

    What's the ideal size of brioche mold and where can I get it? Amazon's price is so expensive. Thanks

  26. HI Anonymous,

    I don't know what the ideal size it. I just bought what size I wanted for my ensaymada and mamon, which is 5.5 inches (like in amazon link up there). I got mine from bakedeco.com .

  27. Hello,

    Thanks for this recipe. I've made this twice already and it tastes just like the real mamon. The only problem I have is that when the mamon cools, they collapse. They're ok while they're still warm and just came out from the oven. Do you know what I could be doing wrong?

    Thanks again.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Hi Celso,

    Hmmm...I have not encountered this problem. Things you can check out is, are they thoroughly cooked even at the middle? Do you remove them right away from molds after baking to cool completely on wire rack?

    If you do, I cannot think of anything else...

    ReplyDelete
  29. Hi Manang,

    Thanks for your prompt reply. The answers to your questions are mostly "Yes". Yes, they are cooked in the middle. I use the toothpick test to know when they're done. And yes, I did remove them right away from the molds after they get out from the oven. But the only difference is that I just let them cool off on a plate, and not on the wire rack. I don't know if that would make a difference. And I also see in your photos that yours are packed separately each one of them, while in mine, I just put them all in a zip lock bag.

    Anyway, it's really weird because the texture is just right while they're still warm, but as soon as they cool, they would almost look like thick pancakes.

    Salamat ulit.

  32. Hello Manang I really admired your passion in Cooking and Baking. I have a question, here in New Zealand, Cake Flour is not available in Supermarket. Can you suggest any replacement for it?

    ReplyDelete
  33. Hi Anonymous,
    a google search led me to this answer:
    "CAKE FLOUR is the following: Cake Flour is made using a wheat variety called rosella, the grain is stone milled and the bran and germ are sieved off. Cake flour has a lower protein level and the least amount of gluten of all wheat flours, so delivers a delicate and tender crumb and crust. It’s ideal when making sponge cakes, genoise, and some cookie batters. Cake flour has a creamy colour and should be refrigerated or frozen to retain freshness. It can be purchased from specialty food suppliers and fine food outlets. Alternately, if you can’t find cake flour and your recipe calls for it, substitute plain (all purpose) flour, simply subtract two level tablespoons of flour for each cup of flour used in the recipe.
    That is from THE authority for Aussie amateur cooks and mums, the Australian Women’s Weekly."

  35. Hi Manang!

    What are the storage requirements for your mamon? Does it have to be refrigerated? Do you think it's okay that I ship some to the east coast, and I live on the west coast? I don't know how long it will take.. so I'm not sure if it will get spoiled if I do this.. thank you!

    ReplyDelete
  36. Hi Anonymous,
    As this has no preservatives, I would suggest that as soon as you make them and they are cool enough but still moist and soft (about 15 minutes after baking), wrap in individual plastic (sandwich bags), and the best way to send from coast to coast would be via express. Will probably last 3 days before they would start to feel like foam.

    ReplyDelete
  37. This recipe looks really good and I am encouraged that people say it is easy. My daughter's English class requires them to bring a food from their home culture to class, and she thinks that mamon would be a good one to bring. This recipe seems the best one I have seen on the net. My question is, if we bake the mamon the day before she brings them to school, do you think I need to put each mamon in a plastic bag after they have cooled on the rack, or can I put them in a container (one layer) without putting each one in a bag? I am also planning to use a muffin liner. Will that work? Thanks in advance for your advice.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Hi CLMA Family,
    Yes that would work fine as long as the container has cover so mamon does not dry up.

    However, this mamon really is not unique to Filipinos, but will definitely be a wower. How about trying the bibingka cake using either the sticky rice flour or the regular rice flour instead? The coconut flavor really brings out the Filipino-ness of it.

  39. hi Manang, i've seen your posts just now, i wonder are these for commercial purposes? do you have special recipes for these? I'll appreciate your feedback.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Hi Anonymous,
    All my recipes here are home-baking only...nothing commercial (in the sense of making the most profit out of it), and some recipes are an attempt to copy the commercial ones we used to have back in Pinas that we miss, using ingredients and tools that can easily be found or is already at (the American) home, but even my attempts at recreating those commercial ones turn out to be better home versions because of the lack of preservatives and lack of the need to make profit. That's the beauty of home baking, aside from enjoying them freshly baked.

    I've become so addicted to your Kusina lately, inspiring, motivating and very well said... :)

    But the mamon on my 3rd time trying still failed and I feel like crying already. whenever it came out of the oven its like siniksik more like the kababayan sa pinas... the egg whites are fluffy and stiff, but when I fold it in it disintegrates like soap suds.... Y oh Y :(

    I wanted this mamon so bad...

    ReplyDelete
  46. Hi Anonymous,
    I am so sorry to hear that you have not had any luck with this recipe. Try not to incorporate the egg white anymore. Make sure the egg mixture is really frothy and creamy yellow that it forms ribbons when you stop beating. Also, make sure your oven is heating up while preparing the batter, then fold some more just before placing the batter into the pans and immediately bake. That way, there will be no separation of the batter and no settling. I don't know if you did all these, but I am just trying to emphasize these just in case you missed on those. If it still does not work, then I don't know how to help anymore. Maybe it is the humidity of the air?

  47. Hello Manang!
    Thanks for your response... Today I will try your suggestion for the mamon...

  53. I meant that i reduced the sugar in the batter by 1 Tbsp (coz I dont like it too sweet). Also, I reduced the BP to 3/4 tsp. The cake still turned out light, without much of the BP aftertaste. I guess it is the technique that matters more which gives the desired chiffon cake result.

  54. HI Nina, Sorry for my late reply and thanks heaps for your feedback! You are like my friend Fe who also prefers cakes less sweet. :)

  65. Hi Manang, I just made 100 pcs of your mamon recipe today, i baked it in cupcake pans... Just want to share my experience, the first batch came out nice without any trace of collapsing - I inverted each one of them as soon as I took it out of the oven. But the 2nd batch I did not invert any of them, all caved in the middle.. again I tried in the 3rd batch not inverting them but cooking them few minutes longer (I was checking maybe it was undercooked) although the top was little browned already... and still cooled down with cave in the middle. For the 4th batch I decided to invert them again and just enough 15 minutes baking time... And hurray!!!! yes it was just nice and not trace of caving in, in any one of them.

    Hope this helps. GIRLIE

    P.S. Thank you for the recipe!!!
