Benben has always wanted to learn to make cakes, but he has been looking for various reasons to drag it off until now. He just got the mold yesterday, but I hurriedly used it to experiment today. Overall, I am satisfied!

relevant introduction
Madeleine cake (shell cake) is a French-style dessert originally used for home cooking. The hero who promoted it to the cake halls around the world is Proust, the great French writer. Proust's taste memories of shell cakes led him to write a long literary masterpiece "Remembering the Past Years", thus also putting shell cakes on the historical stage.

According to rumors, madeleines are also known as Madeleine commercy. It is said to be a family-style snack in commerce, France. In 1730, when Reguchensky, the gourmand king of Poland, was in exile in Mercy City. One day, the personal chef he brought with him actually slipped away when the meal was served for dessert. At this time, a female servant temporarily baked her specialty snacks and sent them out for emergency purposes. Unexpectedly, Reguchensky liked it very much, so she used the female servant's name madeleines for the snacks, and madeleines is also the original name of the shell cake.

    Benben's little advice: 1. Use room-temperature eggs. 2. Mix the eggs well with sugar, but do not stir them. 3. The mold needs to be applied with a thin layer of butter and sprinkled with high powder for anti-stick treatment (in fact, my mold is also non-stick, so it is easy to release the mold).
