FAQ
Can I make Mamon without cream of tartar?
Yes, you can make Mamon without cream of tartar, but it helps stabilize the egg whites and results in a fluffier cake. If you don’t have cream of tartar, you can use a little bit of lemon juice or vinegar as a substitute.

Why is my Mamon not fluffy?
The key to fluffy Mamon is properly beaten egg whites. Be sure the egg whites form stiff peaks and gently fold them into the batter to maintain air bubbles for a light texture.
