Answer A small sponge cake usually served with jam and coconut
Madeleines are small, cookie-sized sponge cakes with a rich taste and tender crumb. They are usually baked in small molds, especially in the shape of a scallop shell. Madeleines are traditionally served for elegant events, such as ladies' teas and bridal showers, and they are most often topped with a fruited jam and coconut.
