Mamón

Mamón are traditional Filipino chiffon or sponge cakes, typically baked in distinctive cupcake-like molds.

[3] Mamón is a very light chiffon or sponge cake known for its soft and fluffy texture.

The name is derived from Portuguese broa, a type of corn and rye bread from Portugal and Galicia.

They are also traditionally used to make icebox cakes in the Philippines, including crema de fruta and mango float.

[6][7] Among Muslim Filipinos, broa (also spelled b'rua, bulwa, or baulo) is a derivative dish.

[11] "Mamón Tostado" as a traditional Pasalubong is a round-shaped toasted chiffon cake-pastry which originated from Cebu.

In Filipino idioms, pusong mamón (literally "mamón-hearted") means someone who is overly emotionally-sensitive.
