Buttery and fluffy, this iconic northeastern French sponge cake is recognisable by its distinctive shell-like shape. Delicious ‘au naturel’, it can also be flavoured with lemon zest for a fresh twist 🍋 Or add an indulgent chocolate shell 🍫 All you need to do is to line your pan with the melted chocolate of your choice, place the madeleines back in it until it hardens and voilà! The madeleine is a piece of literature in its own right: French writer Marcel Proust considers it to be a mini time machine 🕰 As an adult, he bit into one and was transported back to his childhood, standing in his aunt's bedroom on a Sunday morning. All that, just with one bite! What is your Madeleine de Proust? Click the link in bio to discover the Artisan Stand Mixer in Almond Cream
