Financier (cake)
A financier (French pronunciation: [fi.nɑ̃.sje]) (formerly known as a visitandine (French pronunciation: [vi.zi.tɑ̃.din])) is a small French almond cake, flavoured with beurre noisette, usually baked in a small mold. Light and moist with a crisp, eggshell-like exterior, the traditional financier also contains egg whites, flour, and powdered sugar.
