Raspberry financiers: a detailed and easy recipe
While composing our gourmet coffee last time, we felt the urge to make financiers. And we can assure you that we devoured these little almond powder cakes. To enhance the flavors, we even added raspberries ;-) You too can try the experience and vary the pleasures by replacing almond powder with pistachio or hazelnut powder and raspberries with blueberries!
Ingredients
Materials
- 1 silicone financier mold
Preparation
Prepare the hazelnut butter: Melt the butter in a pan and let it brown.
Remove from heat when it smells like hazelnut and has browned. Strain and let cool until it reaches 104°F (40°C, room temperature).
Combine almond powder, flour, and icing sugar in a bowl. Add the egg whites and mix well.
Finally, add the hazelnut butter and vanilla extract and mix everything well.
Pour the batter into a greased financier mold and place 2 raspberries in each financier.
Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (390°F) for 15 minutes.
Since the mold only holds 9 impressions, we left the batter at room temperature while baking the first financiers, then baked the rest afterward. And there you have it, it's ready!
Observations
What are financiers and how are they different from other cakes?
Financiers are small almond-flour cakes known for their moist texture and rich flavor, typically made with egg whites, which sets them apart from traditional cakes that often use whole eggs.
Can I substitute almond powder in the financier recipe?
Yes, you can replace almond powder with pistachio or hazelnut powder for a different flavor profile while still maintaining the cake's delightful texture.
How can I ensure my financiers rise properly?
Make sure to whip the egg whites until they form soft peaks before folding them into the batter, as this will incorporate air and help the financiers rise beautifully during baking.
What is the best way to store leftover financiers?
Store leftover financiers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate them for up to a week to maintain their freshness.
Can I make financiers ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the batter in advance and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking, ensuring you have fresh financiers whenever you desire.
