Description
Ube Mamon is a type of mini sponge cake made eggs and ube, a combination of two Filipino merienda favourites, the ube and mamon.
Ingredients
- 8 eggs (whites and yolks separated)
- 1¼ cup sugar
- ⅓ cup water
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 1¾ cups flour, sifted
- ⅓ cup butter, melted
- 1 tsp cream of tartar
- 1 tbsp ube flavocol
- grated cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Using and mixer beat together egg yolks, ½ cup sugar and ⅓ cup water at high speed.
- Once the yolk mixture is evenly combined add baking powder, salt, flour, melted butter and flavocol using low speed. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl combine egg whites and cream of tartar then beat at high speed. Gradually add the remaining sugar a spoonful at a time and continue beating until stiff.
- Fold in the yolk and flour mixture into the egg white mixture.
- Place in muffin pans lined with muffin cups, pour until ¾ full. Then bake on a preheated oven at 180C for 15 minutes.
- Once cooked generously brush mamon with melted butter on top this makes the top sticky when it sets, then add grated cheese.
I had no idea you could get ube extract? And grated cheese on top. Looks good and intrigued!
