Mamon Sponge Cakes
Ingredients
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 8 egg yolks
  • 2 tablespoons grated orange peel
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup orange juice
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 8 egg whites
  • 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C), ensuring it reaches the desired temperature before proceeding.
2
Next, apply a thin layer of grease to 16 muffin cups using your preferred lubricant.
3
To prepare the dry ingredients, combine flour, 1 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing container. Utilize your hands or a spoon to thoroughly blend the components until they are well combined.
4
Create a central depression in the mixture and add oil, egg yolks, orange peel, vanilla, orange juice, and water. Mix the ingredients thoroughly by hand until they form a smooth, lump-free mixture. Set it aside for later use.
5
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together egg whites and cream of tartar until they become frothy. Gradually add 1/2 cup sugar, continuing to whisk until soft peaks form. Be sure to lift your beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites should now form soft mounds rather than sharp peaks.
6
Fold the flour mixture into the egg whites until they are fully incorporated. Pour the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling them to approximately 2/3 full.
7
Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8
Allow the muffins to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
