MAMON (FILIPINO SPONGE CAKE)
Mamon is my FAVORITE Filipino dessert (or one of them ^^*). The thing that differentiates mamon from American sponge cake is because its a little more sweeter and buttery. Mamon is a very soft and creamy cake. :]

Steps:
- Preheat an oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease 16 muffin cups.
- Stir the flour, 1 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and add the oil, egg yolks, grated orange peel, vanilla extract, orange juice, and water. Mix well by hand until smooth with no lumps.
- Beat the egg whites with the cream of tartar until foamy in a large glass or metal mixing bowl. Gradually add the 1/2 cup sugar, continuing to beat until soft peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites will form soft mounds rather than a sharp peak. Fold the flour mixture into the egg whites. Pour the resulting batter into the prepared muffin cups to about 2/3 full.
- Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 40 minutes. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.

Tips:
- For a finer crumb, sift the flour before measuring.
- Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, this will help incorporate air into the batter and make the cakes light and airy.
- Beat the eggs one at a time, this will help prevent the batter from curdling.
- Do not overmix the batter, overmixing can result in a tough and dense cake.
- Bake the cakes in a preheated oven, this will help ensure that they rise evenly.
- Allow the cakes to cool completely before frosting, this will help prevent the frosting from melting.
