Amarena financiers

Delicate almond cakes with delicious Amarena cherries. The almond flavor and these cherries go brilliantly together. The small almond cakes are reminiscent of the Financiers, which is a classic French cake.

Other types of pickled cherries can be used as well. These cakes are baked in small square silicone molds, but can be baked in muffin molds too.
