Mamon Cake

Mamon is an all time favourite snack/merienda. This is a very easy recipe. I made a cake instead of putting them in individual molds so that there's less washing, LOL. The taste is still there. This is very popular to family and friends because it's not very sweet.

Ingredients:

6 eggs (separate yolk from white)
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 cup white caster sugar
1 cup plain flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup vegetable oil

Spray cake tin or mamon molds (you can use regular muffin pans if you don't have molds)

Directions:

1. Sift plain flour and baking powder in a bowl and set aside
2. In a separate large bowl, beat egg whites and cream of tartar until very foamy like meringue but not stiff
3. Add sugar gradually and continue beating
4. Add vanilla and vegetable oil
5. Add egg yolks one at a time and continue beating
6. Add plain flour and baking powder and continue mixing
7. Spray the cake tin or molds or muffin pan and pour mixture about 2/3 full
8. Bake in preheated 160 C oven for approximately 12-15 minutes for molded mamon or 25 minutes for the cake or until golden brown
