Ingredients

• 120 g All-purpose flour
• 10 g Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 tsp Baking powder
• 1 pinch Salt
• 100 g Granulated sugar
• 100 g Unsalted butter
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 30 ml Whole milk
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract
• 1 tsp Liquid red food coloring
• 10 g Powdered sugar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a madeleine pan with butter or non-stick spray.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a medium bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder. Add a pinch of salt and mix to combine.

Step 4

In another bowl, whisk the eggs and granulated sugar until thick and pale, about 2-3 minutes. You can use a hand whisk or an electric hand mixer for this step.

Step 5

Stir in the vanilla extract, milk, and red food coloring until well combined.

Step 6

Gradually fold the sifted dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula. Be gentle to avoid overmixing.

Step 7

Fold in the melted butter until fully incorporated, ensuring the batter is smooth and glossy.

Step 8

Spoon the batter into the prepared madeleine pan, filling each mold about 3/4 full. Tap the pan gently on the counter to release any air bubbles.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers spring back when touched.

Step 10

Remove the madeleines from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Dust the cooled Red Velvet Madeleines with powdered sugar before serving.
