Almond & Rum financier Nantais cake "Le Fondant Baulois"

The short history of the Nantais cake
The Nantes cake, created in the 18th century, tells a part of the history of this port city.
Inaugurating the first rum routes, the shipowners of Nantes brought sugar cane, rum and spices from the West Indies. These new ingredients inspired a Nantes fouacier who imagined a cake for long-distance sailors that could be kept for several weeks and still retain all its flavour.
The Nantes cake was born, and sailors enjoyed this sweet treat on their long crossings.
 
Tasting advice
There is no time to eat it! But perhaps an age ... The youngest will probably not appreciate the taste of rum.
As a dessert, with coffee, as an afternoon snack or during a gourmet break, any occasion is good! A real treat, which can be accompanied by a hot drink, a fruit juice or a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a fruit salad.
