Time 27m

Yield 18 cakes, 9 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 eggs
1 cup granulated sugar
4 ounces unsalted butter
1 2/3 cups unbleached white flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 lemon, Zest of
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon milk

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Centigrade). Measure 1/4 cup sugar into small bowl and set aside.
  • Beat the eggs with 3/4 cup sugar until the mixture is light.
  • In a small sauce pan, melt the butter on medium on the stove top. Or, melt it in the microwave. Make sure that the butter cools slightly and is not bubbling. As you continue to beat the egg mixture, slowly pour in the melted butter, making sure to mix thoroughly. Stir in the lemon zest, vanilla, and milk.
  • Measure out the flour into a separate bowl. Add the baking powder to the flour and mix thoroughly.
  • While stirring the egg mixture, add in the flour mixture. Continue to stir until all ingredients are mixed well. The batter will be very thick.
  • Place paper liners in to cupcake pan. Use a large serving spoon to spoon batter into pan, filling each one half full. Batter will more than double in size when baked. Use a teaspoon to sprinkle each magdalena with a bit of the reserved sugar.
  • Place pans on the middle shelf of the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, until magdalenas have turned a golden color. Remove from oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes before taking out of the pan to cool further.

I'm allergic to eggs, so I made these magdalenas with a flax egg instead. They turned out great! They were just as moist and fluffy as the traditional version.

These magdalenas were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still enjoyable. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not a big fan of magdalenas, but I have to admit that these were pretty good. They were moist and flavorful, and I liked the hint of lemon zest.

I was disappointed with these magdalenas. They were dry and crumbly, and they didn't have much flavor.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my magdalenas didn't turn out as light and fluffy as I expected. They were still tasty, but they were a bit dense.

Absolutely divine! The magdalenas were incredibly moist and fluffy, with a delicate crumb and a hint of lemon zest that perfectly complemented the sweetness of the batter. I loved the crisp, golden-brown crust that formed during baking, adding a deli
