hi i just want to say that i am so happy i happen to ran across your blog.. i actually make pound cakes and what i did was with a slightly different set of ingredients, i combined your technique and altered my preparation of pound cake. i also tweaked it with your suggestions of lemon and orange extract. and well i can say that wow.. it made a hell of a lot difference. it was like i bought the pound cake from red ribbon.. thanks again :)

Hi Kristen! I’m glad your mamon turned out to be a success! :) I dip the mamon tops in sugar about 10 minutes after I take them out of the oven. :) Thanks for dropping by!

I made this today and it was AWESOME =DD I just have one question! At what stage did you top the mamon with sugar to give it that pretty effect in the pictures? I want to try that next time. =]

hi, i tried your updated version last night and as much as i just wanted to tweak on the flavourings and the butter instead of the oil, here comes my nosey husband who took over my whole baking pleasure… but mind you, it turned out so well… here is the link and when you have the time, let me know how it suits you but i reckon it was so moist and fluffy that it did come close to goldilocks mamon hahahaha

Hi Manang! You don’t know how much time I spent looking at different recipes for mamon. Hee hee! I even expanded my search to include French Sponge Cakes because that’s how Goldilocks describes their mamon. Maybe that’s what I’ll do next…French Sponge Cakes. ;)

I’ve made mamon a total of 4 times already! Hahaha! And I might make some again when I come to my daughter’s school to talk about Philippine culture. Talk about bribing kids with treats! :D

Siopao is also on my list of food “to make”! Hopfully, I’ll get around to it in the next week or so. Thanks for linking my first mamon post to your blog, by the way! Your fans have been visiting my site. Hee hee! :D

Hi Ebie! I wouldn’t say I “perfected” it! Hahaha! :D I’m asking my Mom to bring me all the different kinds of molds I need for baking/steaming…mamon, puto, etc. :) I think brioche molds are worthy substitutes for mamon molds. Let me know how your mamons turn out! :)
