How To Make These Raspberry Almond Financiers

Four mini loaf pans are lightly buttered and the oven is preheated to 400 degrees F.

A stick of butter is melted in a small saucepan over low heat. The pan is removed from the stovetop and the melted butter cooled to room temperature. Set aside.

Egg whites are added to a stand mixer and beaten until frothy, about 2 minutes. Leave alone momentarily. Alternately, this can be accomplished with a hand mixer, or if you’re ambitious, with a whisk.

Granulated sugar and fresh lemon zest are added to a small bowl and whisked to combine. All-purpose flour, almond flour and a pinch of sea salt are added to the lemon sugar and whisked to combine.

The flour mixture is added to the stand mixer and gently folded into the egg whites.

The melted butter is added to the cake batter and folded in until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

The cake batter is divided among the prepared baking pans. Two or three fresh raspberries are placed on the top of the cake batter. The mini almond cakes are baked in a hot oven until golden along the edges and set on top.

The cakes are cooled for a few minutes in the pan and then inverted and cooled completely on a wire rack.

I like to dust them with powdered sugar to serve. I eat these out of hand. Everyone loves the flavor and texture.
