Special equipment:
Madeleine pan, a shell-shaped baking mold found at specialty cooking stores.

4-1/2 ounces semi-sweet chocolate
4 teaspoons unsalted butter
1 cup hot coffee
2/3 cup sherry wine
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup sugar
1-1/2 teaspoons baking soda

Optional garnish:
Powdered sugar

 

1. Heat the oven to 325 degrees F.

2. Place the chocolate and butter in a stainless steel bowl. Pour the hot coffee over the mixture, stirring until the chocolate is completely melted.

3. Whisk in the sherry wine to cool the mixture.

4. When cool, whisk in the eggs.

5. Sift the dry ingredients together (flour, sugar, baking soda) in a separate bowl. Stir in the chocolate mixture and whisk until smooth (use a hand mixer for 1 minute for a speedier result).

6. Spray Madeleine mold(s) with non-stick spray. Fill each shell with approximately 1/8 cup of batter.

7. Bake until the tops spring back to the touch, between 12-18 minutes. Set your timer for 10 minutes and begin checking for doneness.

8. Remove from oven and cool in the pans for 10-15 minutes. Sprinkle with powdered sugar just before serving if desired.
