Ube Mamon is a type of mini sponge cake made eggs and ube, a combination of two Filipino merienda favourites, the ube and mamon. Ube for those who does not know, is a type of yam which usually presents a vivid violet to bright lavender colour. It is a popular ingredient to use in Filipino desserts and baked goods like cakes, cookies, pastries, candies, ice cream, etc. It is also prepared as a sweetened pudding where it can be consumed on its own or with a dessert drink called halo-halo. Today we will be using it again on a soft baked good called mamon, so for those of you who are tired with the usual flavour of mamon try to make them this way.
