Madeleines are traditionally a very small cake originating in Northeastern France. They are distinctive due to their shell-like appearance and shape. Our Meyer Lemon Cake Mix provides the perfect foundation for these dainty little cakes, giving the traditional recipe a zip of citrus flavor. These little desserts got a contemporary twist when we added a buttery, sugary pecan streusel topping. The combination of the tart lemon cake mix and sugary- cinnamon crunch balance each other out nicely, resulting in a great simple lemon recipe you're sure to enjoy.
