Frequently Asked Questions About Chocolate madeleine
What is a chocolate madeleine?
A chocolate madeleine is a small French sponge cake made with butter and chocolate or cocoa. Its classic shell-shaped ridges come from a fluted madeleine pan, while its tender crumb is more cake-like than a crisp cookie.
How do you make chocolate madeleines?
Chocolate madeleines are made by combining whipped eggs and sugar with flour, melted butter, and chocolate or cocoa, then baking the batter in a madeleine pan. Chilling the batter before baking can help the cakes develop their characteristic rise.
Why do chocolate madeleines have a bump?
The bump on a chocolate madeleine forms as chilled batter meets a hot oven and rises in the center. Resting the batter in the refrigerator and fully preheating the oven help create it, though the size of the bump varies by recipe and pan.
Are chocolate madeleines cakes or cookies?
Chocolate madeleines are small cakes, not conventional cookies. Their egg-rich batter bakes into a soft, airy crumb, although their small size and hand-held shape can make them look like cookies.
Why are chocolate madeleines shell-shaped?
Chocolate madeleines get their shell shape from the distinctive ridged wells of a madeleine pan. The pattern is traditional rather than essential to the flavor, so another small cake pan works if you do not have one.
What is the difference between chocolate madeleines and regular madeleines?
Chocolate madeleines have chocolate or cocoa in the batter, while classic madeleines are usually flavored with butter and often lemon or vanilla. The chocolate version tastes richer and may have a slightly denser crumb, depending on the recipe.
Can you use chocolate chips in chocolate madeleines?
Yes, chocolate chips work in chocolate madeleines. Fold them into the batter gently so they stay distributed, and use small chips or finely chopped chocolate for a more even bite; large pieces can weigh down these little cakes.
How should you store chocolate madeleines?
Store chocolate madeleines in an airtight container at room temperature after they have cooled completely. They are best while fresh, since exposure to air dries their delicate crumb; keep them away from heat so the chocolate does not soften or melt.
Can you freeze chocolate madeleines?
Yes, chocolate madeleines freeze well. Once completely cool, wrap them individually or separate layers with parchment in a sealed freezer container. Let them thaw at room temperature before serving to help preserve their soft texture.
What should you serve with chocolate madeleines?
Serve chocolate madeleines with coffee, tea, or a glass of milk. Their buttery, chocolate flavor also pairs well with fresh berries, which add a tart contrast without overwhelming the small cakes.

What is Chocolate madeleine?
A chocolate madeleine is a small French sponge cake, traditionally baked in a shell-shaped mould. Its batter is typically made with butter, eggs, flour and sugar, with chocolate added for this version. The outside may bake to a light golden edge while the centre stays tender.
Buttery and softly textured, it is often enjoyed in France with tea or coffee as a small sweet rather than as a plated dessert. Elsewhere, it works just as well with a hot drink or as a simple snack. It gets much of its energy from carbohydrates and fat, so one piece can be a satisfying treat; pair it with fresh fruit if you want a lighter-feeling snack.
