Haha finance expert! Nice, they look like mini cupcakes 😀




A financier pronounced as finasje is a small French almond cake and baked in small finanicer moulds. It is light and moist. The name financier is said to be derived from the traditional rectangular mould which resembles a bar of gold. The cake became famous around the Paris stock exchange.
With a finance expert at home ,I thought why not bake it for him and he was mighty pleased with the taste and the texture. I think the almond meal in the cake makes a lot of difference. Since it has eggs , I did not taste these but these looked super cute, and loved photographing them. This recipe is from Joy of Baking
