Who wouldn’t want to cozy up after a long day, with a dainty cup of tea and a few bites of madeleines?
Scouring for tea room’s at a new city is a necessity with all the travels we do. Because a girl just needs to have an afternoon tea, in the daintiest way possible.
Dressing up, sipping hot tea with a pinky up (mandatory!) and biting into delicious English desserts. Often, desperate measures involves swapping tea with coffee. You can’t always have it your way, can you? 😉
Afternoon tea’s are a common ritual in Malaysia. The only difference is in addressing it. We address it as “hi-tea”.
Don’t ask me why. Because I wouldn’t know the answer since I’d rather get busy, indulging.
Makes 20 madeleines
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup of butter (1 stick), melted & cooled
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 3 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup whole wheat pastry flour
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder
- 1 tsp instant espresso powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
- pinch of salt
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 375F. Grease madeleine pan. Set aside.
- In a stand mixer, beat melted butter and sugar on medium speed.
- Gradually add 3 eggs and continue beating until liquid is pale and ribbony. It would take about 1 minute.
- Drizzle in vanilla extract and beat to incorporate.
- Sift all the dry ingredients and with the mixer on low, gradually add dry ingredients to incorporate into wet ingredients.
- Remove bowl from stand mixer. With a spatula, scrape batter from the sides and mix in.
- With a spoon, evenly fill batter into madeleine pan. Do not fill to the top.
- Bake madeleines for 10 minutes.
- Remove pan from oven and cool madeleines in the pan for 5 minutes, before removing to cool on cooling rack.
- Dust madeleines with confectioner sugar and serve it up with tea or coffee.
Have a great week, my friends. Try entertaining your friends for an afternoon tea room session with a tea set and cocoa madeleines. Its fun and affordable doing it yourself 🙂

You have the most interesting coffee cups ever 🙂 Love them. I usually drink greet tea while snacking on almonds. Could use these cocoa madeleines now that I am sipping a hot cocoa milk.

Madeleines are so great, aren’t they? Perfect with tea. Or as an entire breakfast, which we’ve been known to do. Yours look wonderful. After all, who can resist chocolate? 🙂

thanks! and i hope you meant the shapes of the madeleines? 😀
Love that sultry dark cocoa against the even darker background. There’s something so delicious about the dusting of icing sugar against the madeleines too. We tend to favour the high tea version (when in Asia.) Back in Australia, it’s an afternoon tea again. As long as it’s tasty, who needs anything else!
