Madeleine Au Cafe

Break four fresh eggs in a copper basin, add four ounces sugar and sharply beat up with a whisk for fifteen minutes; then add four ounces sifted flour with three tablespoons very strong-made coffee, gently mix with a skimmer for one minute; then add three ounces melted butter and a saltspoon baking powder; gently mix again for half minute, then pour into a lightly buttered pastry tin and set in a moderate oven to bake for twenty minutes. Remove from the oven, cut the madeleine into six equal pieces, sprinkle a little powdered sugar over and serve.
