Orange madeleines, moist sponge cakes in the form of a shell. The cakes are creamy and soft and only need some confectioner's sugar to dust.
Madeleine is a traditional French cake recipe from the 17th century. The background story is that a woman called Madeleine baked these cakes with the ingredients she had in her pantry (Wikipedia). The form of the Madeleine lets you think of scallop shells.
For the food blog swap I've made something of the blog of Carola bakt Zoethoudertjes. A delicious baking blog and there was quite a lot of choice. But I couldn't resist these Madeleines when I saw them.
