How to Make Red Velvet Madeleines
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease two shiny madeleine pans.
- In a large bowl, beat together 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar, 4 large eggs, 2 large egg yolks, and 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract with an electric mixer on medium-high speed for 5 minutes, or until the mixture is thick and pale yellow.
- Add ½ cup (113g) melted unsalted butter and 1-2 tablespoons red food coloring (gel recommended for vibrant color). Beat until fully combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups (180g) cake flour, ¼ cup (30g) unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, gently folding until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fill each madeleine cup about ¾ full.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the madeleines spring back when lightly touched.
- Immediately remove the madeleines from the pans and cool on a wire rack.
- Once completely cool (about 20 minutes), dust generously with powdered sugar before serving and enjoy!
