About

Madeleines are a French tea cake that is popular for its buttery, lemony flavor. These cakes were imported from France into the French West Indies cuisine. They are not naturally vegan, but here is an easy version. You must use the seashell-shaped madeleine pan. The baking of the vegan cakes is unconventional, but it works. The lime gives them a flavor that is very French Caribbean.
