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

Storing them

Madeleines, no matter what you do, will always taste best on the day that they’ve been baked.  Why? Because there is a slight contrast between the crunchy outside and the spongey inside that sadly disappears after 24 hours at room temperature.

That said, they’re so delicious that there are rarely any leftovers for the next day!

But if you do find yourself with a few extra, be sure to store them in an air-tight container, like a Tupperware or a metal box lined with a napkin or paper towel. This way they’ll keep for another 2 days.

 

So what are you waiting for? It’s time to get baking!
