Overview
The taste of Financier is moist and sweet, with a strong aroma of almonds. It is often paired with some exquisite and expensive accessories, so it is often seen in high-end dessert shops: paired with authentic English black tea or coffee, Financier can have a very Parisian afternoon tea time. Speaking of which, Financier, that is, Fei Nanxue cake really has a lot to do with money. It is said that Lasne, a chef in a cake shop next to the Paris Stock Exchange in the late 19th century, was the first to invent this cake. He noticed that the customers who came in and out of the store were all well-dressed, in a hurry, and particularly picky about food. In response to the needs of these people, he developed a new cake recipe. This cake does not require a knife or fork and can be eaten directly with your hands without worrying about soiling your shirt and tie. This is the Financier cake. The traditional Financier cake is golden in color and uses a rectangular mold. It looks like small gold ingots to bring good luck - symbolizing prosperity, a house full of gold bars, and abundant wealth. It’s no wonder that the financiers on the stock exchange were all smiles and donated their money one after another. Financier contains unbeaten egg whites and almond flour, and is characterized by its rich, moist and dense taste. Like madeleines, it requires hazelnut butter. Now make Financier and start adding various accessories, such as cheese, fruit, caramel, chocolate, nuts, etc. The shapes also vary: boat shape, mini muffin shape, small flower shape, etc. No matter what its shape, Financier is always a small, exquisite and noble French dessert. Because it contains expensive almond flour or hazelnut powder, as well as irreplaceable hazelnut butter, Financier is as noble as its name.
