Ingredients
- 120 g All-purpose flour
- 10 g Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp Baking powder
- 1 pinch Salt
- 100 g Granulated sugar
- 100 g Unsalted butter
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 30 ml Whole milk
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1 tsp Liquid red food coloring
- 10 g Powdered sugar
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a madeleine pan with butter or non-stick spray.
Step 2
Melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat and set it aside to cool slightly.
Step 3
In a medium bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder. Add a pinch of salt and mix to combine.
Step 4
In another bowl, whisk the eggs and granulated sugar until thick and pale, about 2-3 minutes. You can use a hand whisk or an electric hand mixer for this step.
Step 5
Stir in the vanilla extract, milk, and red food coloring until well combined.
Step 6
Gradually fold the sifted dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula. Be gentle to avoid overmixing.
Step 7
Fold in the melted butter until fully incorporated, ensuring the batter is smooth and glossy.
Step 8
Spoon the batter into the prepared madeleine pan, filling each mold about 3/4 full. Tap the pan gently on the counter to release any air bubbles.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers spring back when touched.
Step 10
Remove the madeleines from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 11
Dust the cooled Red Velvet Madeleines with powdered sugar before serving.
