List of Ingredients

Madeleines:
1/4 cup flour
1/4 cup cake flour
2 egg yolks, plus 1 whole egg
1/4 cup sugar
11/2 teaspoons vanilla
4 tablespoons melted unsalted butter

Filling:
3 egg yolks
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
2 tablespoons Grand Marnier liqueur
1 tablespoon sweet Marsala wine
8 ounces mascarpone cheese
6 tablespoons cold strong coffee
2 ounces grated bittersweet chocolate



Recipe

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Sift flours and salt together and set aside.
Beat yolks and whole egg until light yellow and thick, about 3 minutes at high speed.
Add sugar and vanilla and continue to beat 3 more minutes or until a ribbon of batter falls from raised beaters.
Carefully fold in flour mixture and then melted butter.
Spoon batter into greased madeleine molds, filling each shell flush with mold rim. Bake for 10 minutes until cake springs back to the touch.
Turn mold onto a dry dish towel, unmold madeleines, and cool completely.
To make filling: Beat egg yolks and powdered sugar until pale and thick. Slowly beat in 1 tablespoon Grand Marnier and the marsala.
Add the mascarpone and beat until smooth.
Combine coffee and 1 tablespoon Grand Marnier.
Divide the filling and madaleines as follows: In each of six wine or dessert goblets place two madaleines, drizzle with a little coffee, top with mascarpone, sprinkle with grated chocolate.
Repeat to form a second layer.
Cover with wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours.
Garnish with whipped cream if desired.
