DISCLAIMER
I recommend using the Metric measurements (instead of cups & spoons) for more accuracy and better results.
Instructions
- Cream together the butter and sugar until fluffy and almost white. Add in the flour, eggs, baking powder and vanilla bean paste until well combined. DO NOT over beat
- Grease the madeleine mould with a little butter or a non stick spray and divide the mixture between 8 moulds.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes at 200°C/180°C fan/400°F/Gas 6 or until risen and golden.
- Allow to cool in the mould for a few miniute minutes and then very carefully remove and transfer to a cooling rack.
- Once slightly cooled, trim the cakes so they have a flat top. Turn upside down so that the madeleine is standing on the widest end.
- Heat the jam with 1 tbsp of water on low until spreadable.
- Spoon or brush the jam all over the top and sides of the sponges.
- Toss in the desiccated coconut.
- Top each with half a glacé cherry to finish.
