Lemon Madeleine Cake
Overview
Who is Madeleine? Madeleine cake is a French-style small dessert, also called shell cake. It is said to be a snack full of family flavor in the city of Commercy in France. In 1730, when the gourmet King of Poland Leguczynski was in exile in the city of Mersey, one day, his personal chef actually slipped away during the dessert. At this time, a maid baked her specialty snacks and sent them out for emergency. Unexpectedly, Leguczynski liked it very much, so he used the name of the maid, Madeleines, for the name of the snack, and Madeleines is the real name of the shell cake. The madeleine cake has a cute appearance and a nice name, and the bulging belly is stubborn and cute. Such a simple snack can arouse people's affection in all kinds of ways. There are lemon shavings in it, and the taste is very fragrant. I tasted it immediately after it was baked and it was hot. I couldn't hold it back and I ate both of them. Is this the rhythm of gaining weight?
