Classic Mamon

Mamon (or Filipino Sponge Cake) is a kind of soft bread which is sometimes classified as a dessert because of its sweeter taste. Its main ingredients contain egg and butter which make it creamier in taste than the other breads.

Local bakeries in the Philippines serve classic Mamon with only the basic ingredients included. However, there are variants with different fillings such as strawberry or orange extracts.
