The Madeleine is a traditional small cake from France. It is actually a very small sponge cake with a distinctive shell-like shape acquired from being baked in pans with shell-shaped depressions. There was a saying that this french pastry was created in the 19th century by a lady pastry cook, Madeleine Paulmier hence it was named after her.
I made these lovely french cakes together with my 8-year-old boy two days ago. He came home in high spirit as he is the only one in class who scored full marks for his Mathematics examination paper which he took on Monday. Mathematics is his favourite subject, thus he is overjoyed! We decided to make some madeleines. I did the cake batter for the classic Madeleine while he watched. When I am done, he did the cake batter for Matcha madeleines all by himself! We had to put the batter into the fridge overnight, this is necessary so that the bumps or humps will develop during baking.
We have an enjoyable time baking, bonding together and eating these tasty french cakes. Do give this simple recipe a try and wishing you a lovely and blessed weekend. :)
