Mamon, an Authentic Filipino Sponge Cake
Mamon is a very popular Filipino-style light sponge cake. They are soft and fluffy in texture and are popular to have for breakfast or snacks. They are usually baked in a special molder which gives the mammon its special distinctive shape.
“True sponges contain no fat”, only eggs (which actually contain a bit of fat) and sugar whipped to an emulsion with some flour gently folded in so as not to disturb the bubble structure of the mixture. All other types of cake contain added fats.
DEAJ Investments LLC (DEAJ) would like to bring this special spongy, fluffy and light and healthy snack cake as a major menu in our full-line vending machines located in the various key locations in the DFW metropolitan.
