In recent years, there has been a trend of room temperature cakes in Taiwan. The most common one is the "Madeleine" , which is famous for its shell shape. It is a popular French classic snack. It is often seen on the menu in cafes , a moist taste with a rich and creamy aroma that attracts many people.

What is Madeleine?

Madeleine, called Madeleine in French, is a small oval cake with shell patterns produced in Lorraine in northeastern France. The so-called "Genoa cake" batter is baked in shell-like moulds, traditionally with the addition of finely ground nuts, usually almonds, or shredded lemon zest to give it a lemony flavour.

Where did Madeleine come from?

The origin of Madeleine is very interesting. It is said that when a French duke held a banquet, the chef and the pastry chef had a dispute, and the pastry chef left in anger. The impatient duke was deeply afraid that when there would be no pastries to entertain the distinguished guests, the maid in the family provided the dessert recipes that were often made in her own home, the desserts baked with flour, eggs and sugar. It was unexpectedly well received. So the duke named the dessert after the maid.

Madeleine finished product

Madeleine is out! Doesn't it look delicious ! Everyone can adjust the baking time according to their own preferences. If you like the taste of the charred skin, the baking time can be extended by another 3-5 minutes !

The "convex belly" is one of the classic features of Madeleine. The protruding belly is formed because when baking, the batter will start to bake and shape from the periphery, and then the thicker batter in the center will bulge upwards when there is no room for growth.

Experience Sharing

After cooling down, the Madeleine is moist and full of aroma. It is very suitable to match with a cup of sugar-free black tea. The original and chocolate madeleines have their own characteristics. I personally like the original madeleine more because it can taste a touch of lemon. The aroma is also praised by the family as delicious ! There are all kinds of Madeleine teachings in the market, and you can try making Madeleines with different flavors next time.

Made a Madeleine for the first time and it was a success ! This is a dessert that novices can easily make ! It turns out that it is so simple to make classic French desserts, and the materials needed to make Madeleines are also easy to buy. Interested readers, take advantage of the weekend and try it at home ^^
