Sift the flour and baking powder together. Add the flour mixture to batter. Mix until combined. Add in the yogurt. Mix.

Step 3

Slowly, add in EVOO from the side of the mixing bowl. Mix until blended. Cover and chill the batter for at least 1 hour.

Step 4

Pre heat oven to 150°C. Grease and flour two Madeleine pans.

Step 5

Spoon batter into pans and bake for 5-10 minutes until they are golden brown at the edges. Remove from oven. Serve warm. These mini cakes are best enjoyed the day they are baked.
