Description

Magdalenas are little “cupcakes” typically enjoyed for breakfast in Spain. They’re considered by some to be the Spanish cousins of the famed French madeleines. They’re light and slightly sweet and made with olive oil rather the than butter used in madeleines.

Ingredients

  • ⅔ cups Flour
  • ⅛ teaspoons Salt
  • ½ teaspoons Baking Powder
  • 2  Eggs
  • ⅓ cups Powdered Sugar, Plus More For Dusting The Cakes
  • 1 Tablespoon Honey
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 teaspoon Orange Blossom Water
  • 2 teaspoons Fresh Rosemary, Minced
  • 1 whole Orange, Zest Only
  • ¼ cups Olive Oil, Plus More For Greasing The Pan

Preparation

Note: You’ll need a 12-count madeleine pan or a mini muffin pan for this recipe.

In a small bowl whisk together the flour, salt and baking powder. Set aside.

In a large bowl whisk the eggs and sugar until pale yellow and thick. (I used an electric mixer with a whisk attachment.) Beat in honey, vanilla, orange blossom water, rosemary, orange zest and olive oil.

Gently fold in the dry ingredients. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 350 F.

Coat the insides and rim of a madeleine pan with olive oil.

Fill the cups of your pan almost full with batter. Each cup of my madeleine pan holds one tablespoon of batter.

Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the cakes spring back when pressed lightly. Invert immediately onto a dry, clean towel. (If you turn them onto a wire rack, you’ll likely end up with some unsightly dimples on your delicate treats.)

Cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.

These turned out wonderful! I was looking for a citrus dessert for my sister’s birthday. I could not find orange blossom water however. Apparently orange trees had a bad freeze and the blosssom water is hard to come by?? So instead I used lemon curd and lemon zest. I did not realize it until I read back thru the recipe just now, but I completely omitted the olive oil in the batter! Still they turned out fantastic. I will make them again with the olive oil!
