The proportions in this recipe are perfect, and the cakes are very easy to make. The taste is heavenly, very almond-y, and the texture is awesome: soft and nicely moist in the middle, and crunchy, a bit chewy on the edges. The berries are a nice touch, they make the financiers look so cute and sophisticated, and are a nice contrast to the sweet sugary cake. The only "problem" was that my new silicone financier molds were very shallow (I couldn't find deeper metallic ones), so my financiers are a bit flatter than yours! My husband (who is French!) loved them too! Will definitely make the green tea ones in the near future! Thanks! I made the red fruit financiers with raspberries yesterday, and they turned out great!

Another theory says that the cake became popular in the financial district of Paris surrounding La Bourse du Commerce (the former name of the Paris stock exchange). We serve them topped with whipped cream, berries, or other fruit, and served accompanied by ice cream or other frozen confections. Merci...... Hi Bea,

So sorry first that they turned out too dry. Did you make the fruit or green tea ones? It is true that oven temp can matter. Also, one key step in making financier is about how you add the melted butter (need to mix well until well incorporated). Do you think that your oven is higher than usual? Anne,

I made those amazing financiers today, but they turned out way too dry inside... Any idea what could have gone wrong? I think my oven is really bad (I live in a student house), and that I should have baked the for only 12 minutes instead of 18... Any tips? Salut Béa!
