These buttery sponge cakes are traditionally baked in scallop-shaped Madeleine moulds. Like all the delicate sponge cakes, they have a moist and tender crumb that are best eaten the day they're baked. Classic madeleines are made with sugar, flour, melted butter and eggs, often flavoured with vanilla or lemon. I gave these classic French tea cakes a twist by adding matcha tea powder and dipping them in melted chocolate.
|
- Whisk together the eggs, sugar and agave powder in a bowl until light and frothy, about 5 minutes. In another bowl, whisk together the spelt flour, matcha powder and baking powder together.
- Sift flour mixture into the egg mixture, then pour melted butter around edge of batter. Quickly but gently fold butter into batter. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 24 hours.
- Brush the madeleine tray with melted butter then shake in a little flour to coat, tapping out the excess. Preheat the oven to 190C/375F.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared pan, filling 3/4 full. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the mixture has risen a little in the middle and is fully cooked through. Transfer the madeleines to a wire rack and leave them to cool.
- Place chocolate in small microwave-safe cup. Microwave on medium for 1-2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds, until chocolate has almost melted. Dip each madeleine into melted chocolate, coating bottom third part of the cookie. Shake off excess chocolate and place on a baking sheet lined with wax paper. Dust with a bit of matcha powder if desired. Madeleines are best eaten the day they're baked.

As always, stunning photography! Regarding one of your comments, when will you be coming out with a cookbook? :) Your matcha madeleine sounds delicious. Is the texture soft with white spelt flour? I have trouble using spelt with bread coming out too dense so I often use white whole wheat. All of your desserts looks great!
You are so creative, Angie! Fabulous matcha Madeleines!
On my list to make today! Healthy dessert! Xxx
Beautiful! This recipe is really original.
Cheers,

@Priscilla @ Homegrown DelightIt's rather soft. Bread that baked with whole spelt flour has a different crumb. Not sure what white whole wheat is..I usually grind my own wholewheat flour. Many storebought wholewheat flours are simply a mix of processed white flour and wheat bran.
You always have such creative and beautiful food Angie. What a lovely twist on the French Madeleine.

Alien Madeleines; you're very creative and innovative!
I love the contrast of the green from the matcha and the chocolate dip! Just gorgeous!!!
Angie - I echo all the other comments - your culinary creativity never ceases to amaze! I love these madelines - there is actually a Japanese bakery in NYC that has a lot of matcha pastries and I love it! I would love to make these - just need to figure out where to buy matcha near me! :)

Love it... look so delicious...

Dear Angie, These cookies look delicious and so pretty. Blessings dear. Catherine
They are so pretty and I bet they taste heavenly!
Wow! A wonderful treat..
They look so pretty dipped in the chocolate.
Wow, do your madeleines look beautiful! I love the matcha flavor…very nice!
Really an unusual twist on the classic madeleine, Angie! Very pretty and I bet they tasted delicious!
matcha has such a unique taste! these are pretty and creative. :)
Not only pretty but healthier too...
You're on a match roll Angie! These sound beautiful though I would probably save the chocolate for another occasion (I do love chocolate) but I wouldn't want anything competing with the taste of matcha. Pinned! :)
Your version of madeleine definitely sound more healthy and the combo of matcha and chocolate also sound good.
You know what Angie, i had hold my breath while scrolling down the monitor through out your photograph, it’s all awesome,
Lovely spelt !!!
i really craving over it not…..
These are so unique Angie! You always have amazing flavor combinations in your recipes. Love them!
Matcha is a lovely flavour, I am a big fan :D
What a lovely idea to put it in madeleines!
Cheers

Angie dear, you really know how to make stuffs looks good & yummy. Wish I can have some of these. Mind sending me some ? hehe....
Enjoy & have a fabulous week ahead dear.
Blessings, Kristy
I am mesmerized by these, Angie. I love the color and flavor of matcha and the chocolate (of course). I adore madeleines but still don't have a madeleine pan - you make me want to run out and get one!
Just need a cup of really good coffee and give me a tray of these!
They look awesome and so tempting Angie!
Such beautiful clicks Angie, love the contrasting colors, madeleines look awesome, btw Angie, you'll find idli rice in Indian stores, you can replace it with parboiled rice..
I still need to get a Madeleine pan. I love how puffy your Madeleine's look. The addition of matcha sounds fabulous! Beautiful, Hugs, Terra
The colours Angie ! and I am sure the flavour too... this is a wonderful twist on a classic
Love, love, love the colors of these madeleines Angie. They look wonderful!
Gorgeous madeleines Angie! I would love to taste matcha with chocolate! I bet they're great together.
I've made matcha madeleines before and know how delicious they are. But yours, dipped in chocolate, look so much more elegant than mine did. It might, of course, also have something to do with the fact you are a better food stylist and photographer!
Green tea and chocolate is a perfect combo!
Yum, these look so good and sound so yummy!
Your ideas are brilliant. Each time I'm here I want to lick a screen of my computer <3
How delicious and pretty. Love the color.
I have never made madeleines before and hardly used matcha powder for any of my baking. I must get me a madeleine baking pan to make these.
YUm, you are the Queen of Spelt gorgeousness Angie.Love the pretty madeleines, and now I can make full use of my leftover spelt :-)
Angie, these look out of this world...I have to try making them!!!
They look perfect Angie! I always see how chefs make them on TV, but I never tried making them thinking I might do it wrong. I wish I can taste one of these beauties, these cakes look very delicious :)
