Hi! I have been wanting to make mamon, goldilocks-style. Thanks for generously sharing your recipes, along with detailed explanations. I will try it one of these days. :)

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! :)

Hi Tangled Noodle! I think the Filipino store a short drive from where we are sells Goldilocks mamon. But I can’t bring myself to buy some because I’m too much of a tightwad. Hee hee. So I just make my own. ;) Let me know when you finally get the chance to make mamon. I’d love to read/hear about it! :)

Hi Tigerfish! The Philippine version of sponge cake is referred to as “mamon”. Have you had the chance to try some? They’re very good, specially the ones from Goldilocks and Red Ribbon, two of the Philippines’ most popular bakeshops. ;)

Hi Ing! I did a little research so I can give you an informed answer about your question. Lemon extract (and I guess orange extract, too!) is much stronger than lemon juice. Even if you substitute all the liquid requirements in the recipe with lemon juice, you might still not get the same result that lemon extract would give. A better alternative is to use the grated rind of one or two lemons. ;) Another think you can do is to take lemon juice concentrate and boil it down with a bit of sugar.

Have you received your price yet? I hope you already have as it’s been so long already! :) Good luck on your mamon adventure! ;)

you know what? I was also thinking about that lemon extract (just a hint of it)... kakaaliw naman yang 3 times mo ginawa to finally find the perfect recipe for you! Isn't it funny how sometimes some recipe and ideas on how to tweak it just keeps nagging you...di ka mapakali hangga't di mo nata-try...sometimes you just know it would work out... thanks for this updated mamon post! Will try this again soon (after ko gumawa na siopao siguro)...I always tend to look for something to grab and take to work for merienda...mamon is definitely one of those grab n go foodsies.
