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!

I came to look because it said BLACKberry, only to see that it is BLUEberry. Very misleading name and recipe.
Rasa Malaysia
It’s blackberry, trust me. After baking they sort of look like blueberry.

It’s blackberry, trust me. After baking they sort of look like blueberry. Zoom into the pictures and you will know they are BLACKberry.

Don’t pay attention to the nasty. Anyone reading your recipe can plainly see that it calls for blackberries and not blueberries. Clearly reading comprehension is not CM Carter’s strength.
These look delicious, Rasa. And thanks for not insisting that I buy a financier pan in order to enjoy them!

Hi Beth, yeah the pan is too expensive to buy and regular muffin pan works just fine. :)
Stephanie Jaeger
They look like blackberries to me. Thanks for the recipe….I will be making this, this week.
Rasa Malaysia
Awesome thanks Stephanie. :)
Lynn
These sound delicious. However, it would really help if you could put the amounts in either grams or pounds and ounces (or both) as amounts like “half a cup plus five tablespoons” are really hard to work out, especially as cups and tablespoons are different sizes around the world.

Can you confirm that you use US cup/spoon measures, not British (which is what I think is used in Malaysia).
Rasa Malaysia
Yes US cups.

Fiona
These look amazing! Would they work well in a Madeleine pan or do you think the muffin pan would be better?
Rasa Malaysia
Hi Fiona, I think it works best in a regular muffin pan.

Can ground almonds be used instead of sliced almonds? Also is 1 cup of sliced almonds equivalent to 1 cup of ground almond? I guess it shd be less but can you let me know how much?
Agree with Lynn, it wld help if the measurements are in grams or ounces.
Thanks.

Hi Jenny, I am not sure about ground almond since we didn’t use that. You can convert using this tool: https://rasamalaysia.com/conversion/

You lost me with this no doubt delicious recipe when I read 1/2 cup and 5 table spoons. That is just too cumbersome.
Rasa Malaysia
Hi Chris, this is the recipe we followed from the Bon Appetit website.
Joan
Why is it cumbersome? Or difficult for that matter? In US butter sticks have measurements printed on the wrapper. Follow the instructions, I know you can read. The recipes here have clear instructions and they always work out. They have been tested.
Beth
What is with all the haters? It’s just rude.
Rasa Malaysia
Hi Beth, thanks for being kind. :)
