Matcha Spelt Madeleine

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.

  • 2 Eggs
  • 30 g Caster sugar
  • 50 g Organic agave powder
  • 90 g White spelt flour
  • 10 g Matcha powder
  • 1/2 tsp Baking powder 100 g Butter, melted and cooled slightly, plus extra for greasing 100 g Dark chocolate, optional
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

@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'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! :)

[Reply]
Sonia ~ Nasi Lemak Lover 24/8/14 08:31

Your version of madeleine definitely sound more healthy and the combo of matcha and chocolate also sound good.

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!
