Soft, pillowy Filipino cakes flavored with butter. That's right -- butter flavored.
Storytime
Growing up, Goldilocks Bakeshop was one of the only prevalent Filipino establishments I'd ever really seen in the States. One of my favorite pastries is called mamon which is a Filipino sponge cake. The butter one is the OG flavor, but I personally think the mocha one is the best flavor! Goldilocks bakeries aren't in my state so I've had to rely on my family to bring me some whenever they were stopping by one in CA. Lately, there are a lot more Filipino grocery stores and restaurants in my area, but still no Goldilocks! Luckily, with the help of the internet, I found an old post from Goldilocks USA and gave it a go.

FAQs
I don't have a stand mixer...
That's not a question but I'll go with it. You can use a hand mixer but I definitely don't recommend trying to do this without some sort of mixing device.
Almost everything is in grams, can you convert it to US Standard?
Where do I get a mold for this?
Can you make this into a traditional cake?
