This cake comes from France and is a classic Western cake. It has a solid texture and you can feel the sweetness spreading evenly in your mouth. The rich chocolate flavor lingers in your mouth with a lingering aftertaste.

Using red wine to enhance the flavor not only brings out the fruity aroma of plums, but also removes the astringency.
When you enter the mouth, in addition to the fragrant cocoa aroma, there is also a subtle delicacy. It turns out that the red wine sauce is seasoned with cinnamon. Although the cinnamon flavor is not obvious, it successfully builds a bridge between the chocolate madeleine and plum jam.
Under the guidance of cinnamon, the two coordinated and perfect performances made the overall taste full of three-dimensionality. Suddenly, the chocolate was not overly sweet, and it merged with the sour and sweet taste of the sauce.

French cooking also has different characteristics in each region based on their specialties. Olive oil is mostly used along the southern coast, aquatic products are used along the southern and western coasts, and meat is used along the northern and eastern coasts. Generally speaking, French people are not very fond of vegetarian food.
The French pay great attention to etiquette when dining. They generally use a long dining table. The male and female hosts sit at both ends of the table. Other family members or guests are arranged on both sides of the table in a descending order of importance from the hostess's side to the male host's side. Tableware is used in various ways.
Knives, forks and spoons of different shapes are used to dine on a plate. Only one dish can be placed on the table. The previous dish can be removed before the second dish can be served. However, the tableware is placed on both sides of the diners' plate according to the dining situation.
Use it from outside to inside.
Generally, the first course is the appetizer soup (soupe), then the cold dishes (hors-d`?uvre), then the main course (plat de résistance), and finally the dessert (dessert). Bread is always available, which is better than in Britain and the United States.
