A family cake full of sweetness: the Raspberry Financier ! With its delicious almond flavor and pieces of fruit, it can be prepared in just a few minutes (without resting time). We love its soft texture with almond powder and its delicious little hazelnut butter...
What you will like about this raspberry financier
- flavors : the ideal duo of sweet almond and tangy raspberries, enhanced by a little touch of vanilla.
- texture : the financier is very soft and fruity too with its raspberries spread over the cake.
- difficulty level : very easy to prepare! To bake this family-sized raspberry financier, I use a simple 20 cm round mold.

Precision on the choice of ingredients
- butter : for these financiers, I use unsalted butter, which I melt into brown butter (everything is explained in the recipe). The browned butter is great for adding a delicious taste to the financiers in general as in my recipe for almond financiers cakes.
- almond meal : it is the key ingredient of this raspberry financier because it brings the almond taste and the soft texture. This almond powder is mixed with a little flour to hold the cake together.
- icing sugar : I use icing sugar here because it melts easily into the batter, especially when you add the unbeaten egg whites.
- vanilla : it is a flavor enhancer in this recipe, ideal for highlighting the almond.
- raspberries : I use fresh raspberries because frozen raspberries don't look very pretty once defrosted and also release a lot of juice. The advantage with fresh raspberries is that they don't add any liquid to the cake.

My advice for successful raspberry financing
- do not let your brown butter darken in the pan: as soon as the amber color appears, stop the cooking by pouring it into a bowl through a strainer.
- use a spatula/spatula to incorporate the egg whites with dry ingredients, it's easier than a whisk because the dough is quite sticky.
- when adding the raspberries : do not push them into the dough, just place them on top. During cooking, they will naturally integrate into the cake.
- to know if the cake is cooked : you can trust the golden color of the raspberry financier first and then a wooden skewer stuck in the center of the cake. If it comes out dry or with a few crumbs, it's cooked!
How to store the raspberry financier?
The raspberry financier can be stored at room temperature, in an airtight container (or under a hood) for about 3-4 days, protected from heat.
I do not recommend putting it in the refrigerator because with the butter it contains, it would lose its softness, which would be a shame.

- 110 g unsalted butter
- 100 g almond meal
- 50 g all-purpose flour
- 130 g icing sugar
- 1 pinch of salt
- 4 Egg whites at room temperature
- 0,5 cc natural vanilla extract
- 120 g fresh raspberries
- Prepare the brown butter: in a small saucepan, heat the butter in pieces over very low heat, stirring, until it takes on an amber-caramel hue. Immediately remove from heat, sieve to remove the foam and pour into a bowl to stop the cooking. Let cool for the rest of the recipe.
- Preheat the oven to 180° traditional heat. Butter and flour a 20cm mold. Tap the mold to remove excess flour.
- In a large container, sift the ground almonds, flour, icing sugar and salt. Mix everything for a fine and homogeneous texture.
- Separately, relax the whites with a fork (without whipping them). Then add them to the dry ingredients with the vanilla extract. Mix with a spatula/maryse. There should be no lumps. Do not overmix, just what is necessary.
- Finish by adding the warm brown butter, incorporate by mixing gently with the spatula/maryse.
- Pour the batter into the mold. Place the fresh raspberries on top, without pressing them in (hole down).
- Bake for around 30-35 minutes (adjust depending on your oven, as they are all different). The corners and top of the financier should take on a golden hue.
- NB: you can use individual financier molds, in this case you will have to reduce the cooking time to around 13-15 minutes.
- Leave to cool in the mold then unmold on a wire rack until completely cooled.






Hello
Thanks for the recipe
Can it also be cooked using fan-assisted heat?
Hello Sarah, I do not recommend convection heat, because it cooks harder. It is better to follow my instructions, as this would change the cooking times behind. See you soon :)
Hello,
This weekend I made a financier but with strawberries because the raspberries are not here yet. It's excellent! And so easy.
Thanks Lilie
Hello Elisabeth and thank you for your message! With strawberries, it must be just as good, you were right to try! See you soon :)

The thank you box
Hello Anna, thank you very much for your feedback, I'm glad you liked it! See you soon :)
Many thanks Lilie for this excellent and simple recipe. I made the almond powder myself from real almonds bought in bulk, it avoids plastic and it is so much better, especially in terms of material and taste. No storage problems, everything went in one go.
Thanks Pops! Very good idea to make your own almond powder, it just takes a little more time to prepare, that's all. See you soon :)
Simple and effective recipe! Super practical when we have egg whites left.
To do without hesitation
Thank you very much Patricia! Glad you like this recipe! See you soon :)
Thank you for this recipe so simple to make. I had some egg whites left and I had no ideas to use them. Instead of raspberries I added flaked almonds on top. See you soon for future recipes.
Thank you Anne-Marie for your feedback! Glad you like this family format financier. With the flaked almonds it must be delicious too :) See you soon
