Madeleine
A small, buttery cake baked in a shell-shaped mold.
Say it: mad-LEHN (approximate English pronunciation)
A madeleine is recognized by its shell shape and soft cake texture. Associated with Lorraine, it offers a simple accompaniment to coffee or tea. Bakeries may sell plain cakes as well as citrus, chocolate or other interpretations. Its texture is quite different from the crisp layers of a croissant.
