Ingredients

• 150 grams Unsalted butter
• 100 grams All-purpose flour
• 20 grams Cocoa powder
• 100 grams Granulated sugar
• 2 Large eggs
• 30 milliliters Whole milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 pinch Salt
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Melt the unsalted butter in a saucepan over low heat, then set it aside to cool slightly.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Set aside.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, use a hand mixer or whisk to beat the granulated sugar and eggs until the mixture is pale and frothy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the vanilla extract and milk to the egg mixture, then mix until well combined.

Step 5

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a rubber spatula, being careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Slowly pour the cooled melted butter into the batter, folding it in gently until fully incorporated. The batter should have a smooth and slightly thick consistency.

Step 7

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the batter for at least 1 hour to allow it to firm up. This step is essential for achieving the madeleines' signature hump.

Step 8

When ready to bake, preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) and generously grease a madeleine pan with butter or non-stick spray.

Step 9

Scoop about 1 tablespoon of batter into each cavity of the madeleine pan, filling them about three-quarters full.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers puff up with a gentle dome.

Step 11

Remove the pan from the oven and allow the madeleines to cool for a minute before gently releasing them from the mold.

Step 12

Optional: Dust the madeleines with powdered sugar before serving for an elegant touch.

Step 13

Serve warm or at room temperature with your favorite beverage. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
