I tried this mamon recipe, the taste is very close to Goldilocks mamon!
Thank you!

Hi Elsie! I’m glad you and your family loved the mamon recipe. The only reason I could think of why the top part melted is the room temperature. Could it have been a little too hot in the room? The top part really comes out moist and soft. That’s really the only answer I can think of. :D Thanks for dropping by! :)

Your mamon picture gave me much enthusiasm to follow the recipe. ’twas really a hit. Everyone in the family ♥ it. It was heavenly soft and it really melts in the mouth.(mouthwatering!!!). The only problem I encountered was when I left 1 pc at room temp for about 5 hours the top part melted. Does this mean I have underbaked it? The toothpick which I have inserted before I took it out from the oven came out really clean and it was a golden brown already. Advice please…. :-)

Hi Marjorie! I am so sorry for the very late reply! I’ve been very very busy this holiday season. Will you forgive me? :D

Cakes do shrink/sink a little after they’re taken out of the oven. But, and here’s the big but, they tend to shrink/sink more if the cake, in this case, the sponge cake, is overbaked. Ovens work differently from kitchen to kitchen. So I always set my timer at a slightly less time than indicated in the recipe, specially if it’s a new recipe. I’ve already had the experience of setting the timer as called for in a recipe and almost ended up with a useless bit of burnt cake. :D I learned my lesson.

Also, don’t overbeat the batter and make sure you only fill the muffin pans from 1/2 to 2/3 full.

I hope I helped you in someway. Good luck on your next mamon adventure! Happy New Year!
