Gluten-free French Madeleine Cakes Recipe

Bake a batch of these tasty little French cakes to have with a cup of tea or coffee!

Ingredients

2 free-range eggs

100g (3½ oz) sugar alternative such as xylitol or coconut sugar

100g (3½ oz) Bob’s Red Mill “1-To-1” Flour, plus extra for dusting

1 unwaxed lemon, juice and zest

¾ tsp baking powder

½ tsp vanilla essence

100g (3½ oz) butter, melted and cooled slightly, plus extra for greasing

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/Gas 6. Brush the Madeleine tray with melted butter then shake a little flour to coat, tapping out the excess.

2. Whisk together the eggs and the sugar substitute in a bowl until frothy. Lightly whisk in the remaining ingredients. Leave to stand for 20 minutes before carefully pouring into the prepared Madeleine tray.

3. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the mixture has risen a little in the middle and is fully cooked through. Transfer the Madeleines to a wire rack and leave for a few minutes to cool slightly. These are best eaten within an hour of cooking.
