Blackberry Financiers

Blackberry Financiers – buttery, moist and rich French cake with blackberries. Homemade financiers are great with tea or coffee. So good!

I recently had some amazing financiers at a pastry shop and those dainty and cute looking little cakes had me searching for the recipe online so my baker Kendoll and I could make them at home.

After much research, we finally decided on the blackberry financiers recipe from Bon Appetit.

In Paris, financiers are shaped like a little rectangle gold bar (I guess to signify bankers since financiers means bankers literally) and they can be found in many patisserie.

Whenever I visit Paris, I would always order them to go with my cup of coffee in the morning or afternoon.

These blackberry financiers are so good as they are topped with blackberries. Not many people have the financiers mold so we used a regular muffin pan. It worked out well.

Dust with powdered sugar generously and serve them for your next tea party. They are amazing!
