Description
Almond and vanilla extracts flavor the simple batter for these French butter sponge cakes, a traditional small cake from Commercy and Liverdun in the Lorraine region in northeastern France. Once prepared, the batter needs to rest in the refrigerator for two hours before baking in a madeleine pan, its molds resembling something akin to clams. For a bit of flourish, you can dip the tips in melted chocolate or spinkle the baked madeleines with powdered sugar.
Ingredients
- 150 grams cake flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 110 grams butter (melted)
- 2 whole eggs
- 1 egg yolks
- 150 grams sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- salt
Directions
- Sieve the flour with the baking powder.
- In a bowl, beat the eggs with the sugar until light and frothy.
- Add the flour mixture, butter, extracts, and a pinch of salt. Mix all the ingredients well until smooth.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and allow to rest in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius.
- Place a teaspoonful of mixture in each madeleine mold. Chill briefly.
- Bake for 5 to 6 minutes. When they begin to rise, lower the temperature to 180 C and bake for up to 6 minutes until golden brown.
- Allow to cool and sprinkle with powdered sugar.

I’ll admit I don’t like to fuss over simple things but when I saw how versatile these little cakes are, I decided to give them a try. My family loved them dipped in chocolate on one end and my youngest daughter coated them in colorful, sugar sprinkles. We’ll definitely make them again!
