Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Prepare a couple of 8-inch round cake pans by greasing and lining them with parchment paper.
-
In a bowl, sift the cake flour, baking powder, and salt together. Set aside.
-
In a separate large bowl, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar together using an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
-
Gradually add in half of the sugar while continuing to beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
-
In another bowl, whisk the egg yolks until pale and frothy. Add the remaining sugar and continue whisking until well-combined.
-
Slowly add the melted butter and vanilla extract to the egg yolk mixture, stirring gently.
-
Gently fold in the flour mixture into the egg yolk mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
-
Take a dollop of the beaten egg whites and fold it into the batter to lighten it. Then, gently fold in the remaining egg whites until well incorporated.
-
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans, spreading it out evenly.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the cakes are lightly golden.
-
Once baked, remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for a few minutes. Then, transfer the cakes to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Serve your Mamon Cake slices with a dusting of powdered sugar or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra touch of sweetness.
