Welcome back!
Today, we have a new variant on our Financier recipe: this one's chocolate! Financiers are really supposed to have that distinct almond flavor, and the chocolate kinda covers that up, but it's still a good recipe nonetheless, because who doesn't like chocolate? It still retains a similar texture, like a lighter, fluffier cake, but with a nice, rich chocolate flavor.
Chocolate Financiers
Makes 9 financiers (we have a Lekue 9-cavity mold)
Ingredients:
- 60 grams powder sugar
- 15 grams cake flour
- 15 grams cocoa powder
- 40 grams almond flour
- 1 teaspoon espresso powder
- A pinch of salt
- 50 grams brown butter
- 20 grams dark chocolate
- 2 egg whites
Directions:
- Sift/mix the sugar, flours, cocoa powder, espresso powder, and salt together.
- Beat the egg whites until smooth. Add it into the dry mixture.
- Melt the chocolate. Meanwhile, prepare the brown butter. Make sure both of them stay hot.
- Pour the butter into the chocolate and mix evenly.
- While still hot, pour the chocolate/butter mixture into the first mixture.
- Pour the batter into the molds.
- Bake at 400°F for 10 minutes.
You could generalize the name of this recipe to just "chocolate petit fours" if you don't think they're really financiers (honestly, we feel like if you want to add variations to financiers, you can't really do anything that fundamentally changes the recipe, just some add-ons will do). Whatever you want to call it, they're still delicious though!
