1. Prepare: Generously grease your Madeleine pans with extra butter, dust them with a little flour, and shake off any excess.
2. Sift: In a medium bowl, sift together 2 cups of cake flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt, then set it aside.
3. Beat: In a large mixing bowl using an electric mixer, beat 1 cup of room-temperature unsalted butter until it is soft and fluffy.
4. Cream: Gradually add 1 2/3 cups of sugar to the butter and beat the mixture until it turns very light and creamy.
5. Mix: Add 5 large eggs to the creamed mixture one at a time, beating well after you add each egg.
6. Flavor: Stir 1 1/2 teaspoons of vanilla extract into the wet batter.
7. Combine: Gradually stir the sifted flour, baking powder, and salt mixture into your wet batter and blend everything well.
8. Fill: Turn the finished batter into your prepared Madeleine pans, dividing it evenly.
9. Bake: Place the pans in your preheated 325°F oven and bake for about 10 to 15 minutes.
10. Test: Insert a toothpick into the center of a cake; if it comes out clean, your Madeleines are done.
11. Cool: Tip the baked cakes out onto a wire cooling rack and turn them right side up.
12. Glaze: Using a thin skewer, prick a hole in the top of each Madeleine and pour 1/2 cup of warm Lemon Beebrush syrup evenly over each cake.
13. Savor every bite of these beautiful, citrus-scented treats!
