Posted on Wed, Jan 04, 2017

These delicate French shell-shaped cakes, known as madeleines, are transformed into a delicious treat with the addition of vibrant Willamette Raspberry Jam, creating a perfect balance of light, buttery sponge and fruity sweetness.

Ingredients

  • Willamette Raspberry Jam
  • 2 eggs
  • 60g caster sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla essence
  • 1/3 cup plain flour
  • 50g butter, melted
  • icing sugar to sprinkle

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 180°. Generously grease and flour a 12-hole madeleine tin.
  2. Whisk together the eggs, sugar and vanilla essence for 2-3 minutes, or until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is thick and pale and has increased in volume.
  3. Sift the flour on top and fold in gently with a large metal spoon.
  4. Gently stir in the melted butter until combined.
  5. Fill each hole in the prepared tin to three-quarters full. Bake 7-10 minutes until risen, golden and firm to the touch. Cool on a wire rack.
  6. Carefully cut a slit in each madeleine and fill with Willamette Raspberry Jam. Sprinkle lightly with icing sugar while still warm and eat within a couple of hours within baking.
