Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder (for dusting)

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 1/3 cup mascarpone cheese
  • 1/4 cup espresso or strong coffee
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the batter: Whisk eggs and sugar together until pale and creamy. Gently fold in the all-purpose flour and baking powder, followed by the melted butter, espresso, mascarpone cheese, and vanilla extract. Mix until the batter is smooth, slightly thick, and airy for a tender crumb.
  2. Chill the batter: Refrigerate the batter for at least 30 minutes to help the madeleines develop their signature hump and ensure even texture during baking.
  3. Preheat and prepare the mold: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Thoroughly grease madeleine molds with butter and dust with flour to prevent sticking and promote even browning.
  4. Fill the madeleine molds: Using a spoon or piping bag, fill each mold about three-quarters full, taking care not to overfill so the batter can spread properly and form the classic shell shape.
  5. Bake until golden: Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove immediately to a cooling rack to maintain the perfect texture.
  6. Dust and serve: Once cooled, dust generously with cocoa powder using a fine-mesh sieve for an even coating. Serve as is or with extra mascarpone cream for an indulgent treat.

Notes

  • Use strong freshly brewed espresso for the best coffee flavor and aroma.
  • Chilling the batter is essential for classic texture and shape.
  • Grease and flour madeleine molds thoroughly to ensure easy release.
  • Watch baking time carefully to prevent drying out the madeleines.
  • Sift flour and baking powder before mixing to avoid lumps and ensure a light batter.
