Peach Financier Recipe - How to Make Peach Almond Cakes

[bennettczajka]

Hey Chef John, I just wanted to say, I've been watching your videos for about a year now. And at the time I was just a sophomore in high school who had no idea what I wanted to do. And I always liked cooking but never wanted to pursue it as a career. But after I watched a few of your videos, that was when I knew wanted to cook. So I took a 2 year class in my high school where you learn to cook, run a restaurant, make your own menus ect. And I'm now interning at a good local restaurant, I love it. So I guess I want to thank you for inspiring me to cook.

What I love love about cake videos from chef John is that he always eats what he bakes and show the insides of the cakes. Many other youtube channels just show beautiful cakes or beautiful performance without attempting to show insides. They are afraid of "real eaters" or " real bakers" know that they do wrong. I have seen many channels like that and they have 1-2m followers. Unbelievable!

I love the high temperature that these are baked at. Almost souffle like but with staying power. Thank you Chef John

These came out fantastic! I made 3 each with peach, pear, raspberries, and candied orange peel. My favorite was the pear and raspberries, actually, I do have to say though that I reduced the sugar by half and they were plenty sweet for my taste.

AMAZING - these are so simple to put together and yet SO delicious! They lasted only a couple hours with a family of FOUR. I made them into little birthday cakes with candles for my son's birthday. I recommend using a mini SILICONE muffin mold because they DO stick - Next time I will use coconut oil spray ON the silicone molds. I used strawberry slices instead of PEACH.

Je t'aime, Chef John! Your recipes are fabulous and down to earth, and your sense of humor brightens my day. Ignore any haters and keep being YOU!

Well, at least I know now why I love financiers. Butter and almonds. What's not to like. Love the idea of making them with peach -- same family as almonds, so they'd probably go together splendidly. Thanks for the recipe.

Little tip: to make your baking tin even more non stick with the butter + flour method, butter the tin first, refrigerate until the butter hardened again and then add the flour just before filling them up. If the butter is too warm and soft, it just absorbs the flour instead of creating an insulating layer. It's not a huge thing but it does make a difference when using sticky tins.

Financiers means Financials in French and the reason why it got that name "they say" is because the bakery was next to the Paris stock exchange so the baker made it for his clienteles who works mostly in the financial district to have a small cake on their way without dirtying their fingers.

I really like the fruit on top for a nice decoration. They are beautiful muffins.

Maybe this isn't for Chef John, but for those of you who really like almond cakes and want a more pronounced almond taste - toast the almond meal before putting it in the batter. Just spread it around in a thin, uniform layer on a baking sheet and put in the oven for just a few minutes (you should probably stay by the oven to make sure it doesn't burn). Just like any other nut, the flavor of the almonds really intensifies when you toast it.

DearChef John,
I just made four dozen Financiers topped with the following; Dark Chocolate, Toasted Almonds, Raspberries and l left the last dozen plain. I use a Baking Spray with added flour. The girls are coming over this evening for a little Poker and to brag about our Grandkids. It’s just suppose to be Poker but... You know us Grandmas! I’m definitely going to try topping mine with Peach 🍑 as soon as they’re available. ♥️👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I've had a pretty bad day, this made me feel better. Thanks for yet another nice post.

Oh man, I just made the same Nic Cage quote (I could eat a Peach for hours, for those that don't know) about an hour ago! Awesome!

I started using Baker's Joy every time I bake.  Works like a charm every time and no more messing with buttering and flouring the pan.

"I can eat a peach for hours."  Me too Chef John me too haha!!
