Madeleines: the only cake you need to know how to bake

Baking them

Often madeleine recipes recommend starting off with a hot oven then slowly lowering the temperature.

But if you’ve followed our advice and have chilled your batter beforehand, you can skip this slightly annoying step!

Simply bake them at 350° F, and once they’re done, bang the mold against the counter. Doing so will pop the madeleines right out of the mold, and therefore prevent the humidity that can set in when you let them cool while still in the mold.
