- 4 egg yolks from large eggs
- 2/3 cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 3 tbsp. unsalted butter melted and slightly cooled
- 1/4 c cocoa powder
- 3/4 c all purpose flour
- 1 and 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 4 egg whites from large eggs
- 3/4 cup sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F. In a mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks and 1/2 cup of the sugar until the mixture is pale and a bit bubbly. Add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Stir well.In a small bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and baking soda. Add this dry ingredients mixture to the yolks mixture and whisk well until smooth. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add the remaining sugar as you continue to beat the egg whites until they form stiff, firm peaks. Gently fold the beaten egg whites 1/3 portion at a time into the yolk batter using a rubber spatula. Continue to fold gently until the color is uniform.
- Spoon the batter into large muffin moulds until they are 2/3 full. Place the filled moulds on a large baking tray. Bake the chocolate mamon in the preheated oven for about 16-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of cakes come out clean. Cool these chocolate mamon on wire racks and store leftovers in covered containers at room temperature.
