Mamon Tostado!
Just a few days ago, Sunday to be exact, mother and I bought Mamon Tostado at a grocery store in Tacloban City. I have been on this movie marathon the past few days and I had the Mamon Tostado as my snack, while watching the movies.
Mamon Tostado, defining from their separate terms, Mamon is a yellow sponge cake slightly wider than a traditional cupcake. While Tostado, is a Filipino or somewhat Spanish (too) term for Toasted. So basically, it is a Toasted Sponge Cake. Mamon itself is a Filipino favorite. Most would want their Mamon just to be soft and creamy than a toasted and crunchy one. This time, I prefer it crunchy. So the recipe that I would share today is basically making the original Mamon, and toasting it.
- Ingredients
- 1 & 1/2 Cup cake flour
- 1 Cup white sugar
- 1 Teaspoon baking powder
- 1 Teaspoon vanilla
- 7 Eggs, separated. Instructional video HERE.
- 1/2 Cup vegetable oil
Procedure
- Preheat oven to 350°F, or moderate heat.
- Sift flour and baking powder in bowl, set aside.
- Make a meringue out of the egg whites by beating it in a bowl, while gradually adding sugar to it.
- Add in Vanilla and the oil.
- Mix the sifted flour and baking powder with the egg yolks.
- Combine the two mixtures by folding until no lumps are seen.
- After mixing, use a piping bag to place them on a muffin top baking pan like THIS.
- Bake for about 25 minutes or until golden brown.
- You have now made Mamon. Now to make a Toasted version, remove from pan and place upside down on a flat baking pan like THIS.
- Bake for about 10-15 minutes or until it is dry. Be careful not to burn it though.
- Enjoy!
