When I was a kid there was this cake shop near us (in Tokyo) that made madeleines with marmalade.

Their madeleines did not come in the shell shape; they came in a shallow cup-cake like tin foil, with a thick layer of light orange marmalade at the bottom.

Imagine the delight of a child eating that buttery cake and then using her finger(!!) to scrape the gooey marmalade base?! I don't even know how adults ate that marmalade-madeleine with politeness and dignity. #madeleine #marmalade
