Financier Cake Recipe
Financiers are small and buttery almond cakes commonly found in French patisserie. The financier recipe is made of almond flour, all-purpose flour, egg whites, sugar and butter.
Ingredients
- 30 g (1.06 oz.) almond flour
- 30 g (1.06 oz.) all-purpose flour
- 2 pic egg white
- 80 g (2.8 oz.) powdered sugar
- 50 g (1.7 oz.) butter
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- sliced almonds, optional
Instructions
- Combine a blend of all-purpose flour and almond flour together. Employ a stand mixer or an electronic hand mixer to thoroughly mix the two flours.
- Begin by beating the egg whites and powdered sugar until they reach a snowy consistency or form soft peaks.
- Gently incorporate the flour mixture into the egg white mixture. As you slowly add butter and vanilla extract to the batter, be careful not to over mix it. The goal is to achieve a smooth consistency.
- Next, transfer the batter into a piping bag or a plastic bag with one of the edges snipped off. Use the bag to add the batter into each financier mold. For an added touch, top each financier cake with a few sliced almonds.
- Bake the financiers at a temperature of 220°C (428°F) for 12 minutes.Once they're finished baking, let the financiers cool for 15 minutes before removing them from the mold.
