Madeleine’s are petite butter cakes known for their unique shell shape
baked into a special pan called a Madeleine Pan
Pure vanilla cake and a light sprinkling of powdered sugar is really all they need
The recipe below is for a sugar free Vegan Madeleine Recipe
since I switched the granulated sugar for monk fruit sugar and I even swapped out half of the butter for applesauce!
however you can stick to the original vanilla sponge cake recipe if you prefer and I make a note of that in the recipe section
The addition of Silda’s Blueberry Elderflower Jam is crown jewel to top these little gems!

Notes for Success:
A light spray of pan grease and a sprinkling of flour is the best way to ensure your Madeleine’s don’t stick, especially if you are making the reduced oil recipe
For the best vanilla flavor be sure to use a vanilla flavor plant milk, I use soy milk for the best results
Combining cake flour and all purpose flour will give you the best lightest texture
But if you cannot get cake flour just use all~ all purpose flour instead but take out 2 Tablespoons from the total amount of both flours listed below
I use a #100 Scoop or one heaping Tablespoon for each cavity in the Madeleine Pan filling the batter slightly less than to the rim
Vegan Madeleine Recipe
Ingredients
- ¾ cup Plant Milk (180ml)
- 1½ teaspoons Vinegar (7ml)
- 4 Tbs Melted Vegan Butter (56g)
- 4 Tbs Unsweetened Applesauce (62g)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract (5ml)
- 1 cup All Purpose Flour (125g)
- ½ cup Cake Flour ½ cup (60g)
- ½ teaspoon Salt ½ teaspoon
- 1 teaspoon Baking Soda (4g)
- ⅔ cup Monk Fruit OR Sugar (140g)
- Confectioners sugar as needed *optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F Lightly spray the Madeleine pan with pan spray & a light dusting of flour
- Prepare the cake batter by combining the vinegar with the plant milk. Add the vanilla extract & reserve aside
- Combine the flours, baking soda, salt & sugar in a large mixing bowl & whisk or sift together
- Add the thickened plant milk, applesauce & melted vegan butter, whisk to develop the batter~ about 20 strokes.
- Portion into the Madeleine Pan by using a #100 scoop~ each cavity will get a heaping scoop or fill just to below the rim to allow for rising
- Bake for 10 minutes or until light golden brown & springy to the touch when you gently press the centers
- Cool slightly in the pan them flip them out onto a cooling rack (a light tap on the pan will release the little cakes easily)
- Wash, dry & re-grease the pan for the remaining batter
- Once the cakes are cooled sprinkle with powdered sugar
