This week’s selection from Rose’s Heavenly Cakes brings out the financier pan again. Given that I don’t have one of those, I use my trusty Wilton silicone brownie pan.

The recipe couldn’t be simpler, and since I refuse to spend longer typing it up than I did making it, here you go.

Mise en Place

Finished Cakelets!

As mentioned in the recipe, the batter curdled when mixing in the last of the egg white mixture, but it baked out to a tender even crumb in the end. These are full of little vanilla seeds, and full of vanilla and buttery flavours. I enjoyed them, though I think I’d prefer them with frosting. What’s cake without frosting?
