What is Madeleine?
- The Madeleine shell cake, likened to the sweet young lady of France, originated in the 18th century and belongs to the basic gateau family with a slightly higher butter ratio in the traditional recipe.
- Madeleine cakes are made from simple ingredients such as: flour, butter, cream, eggs, and sugar.
- The fragrant, soft shell-shaped cake is a favorite breakfast for the French people.
- The cake is so popular and loved that you can easily find a “pack” of Madeleine in any supermarket, without needing to have it served in some five-star bakery.
How to store madeleine cakes
- To make the best Madeleine shell cake, it should be baked and eaten on the same day.
- Once baked, you can put the cakes in a box, seal it tightly, and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- The unbaked batter can be kept in the refrigerator for about 3 days.
Tips for successful execution
- If you do not have a Madeleine mold, you can use a cupcake mold. You should lower the baking temperature to about 165 – 170 degrees Celsius and increase the baking time to 25 – 30 minutes, depending on the height of the batter in the cupcake mold.
- The baking temperature in the recipe can vary depending on the oven. For smaller ovens, it is advisable to lower the temperature to avoid burning the outside while the inside is not fully cooked.
- A properly made cake will be very soft and light, with a smooth, fluffy crumb and a rich buttery flavor. If the cake is dense and hard, with a gummy or dry crumb, the possible reasons could be: insufficient egg whisking, not baking for enough time, baking at too high a temperature (causing the cake to burn outside while the inside is undercooked) or baking at too low a temperature for too long, leading to dry batter.
So now you can immediately bake those super cute and delicious cakes for the family party. Điện máy XANH wishes you success in making these 2 ways to make super cute and attractive strawberry and corn madeleines at home!
