I made these Madeleines last week, I added orange juice and cocoa as one of my favorite chocolates is Terry's Chocolate orange so I thought it would make a cool version of a Madeleine. They turned out really well lovely and moist and didn't last long :-), thats why I don't bake all the time to practice portion control!
What's your favorite candy bar and have you ever made a cake to copy it?
Ingredients:
- 2 eggs
- 75g sugar
- pinch of salt
- 90g flour (about a cup)
- 3g of baking soda
- grated zest of 1/2 a lemon
- 1/2 a cup of orange juice
- 90g melted butter, still liquid but cold
- one spoon of runny honey
- a few drops of vanilla essence
- 2 tablespoons of cocoa
Method:
- melt the butter and keep it to one side
- whip the eggs with sugar and salt then slowly add the sifted flour and baking powder, lemon and vanilla essence and orange juice .
- Mix until smooth then add the melted butter, cocoa and honey and leave to chill for 30 minutes or longer
- bake for 10 minutes at 350 degrees.
Help yourself everyone and have a wonderful weekend, I hope it cools down a little here, I really need to be a morning person and get up early to enjoy walking without melting!
Jasmine and I are going to a local pow wow (Native American get together) with friends should be fun love the clothes, dancing and jewelry. Hope they have food, but everything involves food with me!
Love
