Three Color Madeleine Cake

Overview

Madeleine cake, also called shell cake, is a dessert originating from France. It was originally used for home cooking. The great writer Proust recalled its taste and wrote the long literary masterpiece "In Search of Lost Time", so this cake was also pushed onto the stage of history. I have made madeleines many times before, original, matcha, and chocolate. Today’s one is a combination of the above three flavors. You can taste a variety of flavors at one time. In this early autumn, which is getting colder and colder, it is very pleasant to have a piece of brightly colored cake paired with a cup of warm black tea.

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Prepare all the ingredients, cut the butter into small pieces and melt it into a liquid with hot water. Set aside.

   

2. 2 Mix the eggs and sugar with a hand mixer until evenly mixed.

   

3. 3 Add honey and mix well.

   

4. 4 Mix the low-gluten flour and baking powder, sift, add to the egg liquid, and use a hand whisk to slowly stir evenly until there is no dry powder.

6. 6 At this point the basic batter is ready, divide the batter into 3 portions.
