Mini financiers cakes

Mini financiers cakes are delicious little treats originating from France. They are small, buttery almond cakes with a delicate texture and a slightly crisp exterior. They are usually baked in small rectangular molds, which give them their signature shape. The name "financier" is said to come from its rectangular shape, which resembles a gold ingot or a banker's bar.

These petite cakes are perfect for serving as a sweet treat alongside a cup of tea or coffee. They are often flavored with vanilla and can be enhanced with various toppings such as fresh fruits, chocolate drizzle, or powdered sugar.

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a mini muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray or lined with paper liners.
In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, powdered sugar, and all-purpose flour. Mix well to get rid of any lumps.
Add the melted butter, egg whites, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until all the ingredients are well combined and the batter is smooth.
Fill each cavity of the mini muffin tin about 3/4 full with the batter.
If desired, you can top each financiers cake with sliced almonds or other toppings of your choice.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the edges of the financiers are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Once baked, remove the mini financiers cakes from the oven and let them cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Dust with powdered sugar or any other toppings you prefer before serving.
