Recipe Petits Fours (Cake)
Home Cooking Recipes
Required Ingredients:
- 2 eggs
- 2 egg yolks
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 cup milk
- 5 tablespoons butter, melted
- 2 cups Frosting for Petits Fours
Preparing/Cooking:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Grease and flour a 10x15 inch jellyroll pan.
- In a large bowl, beat the eggs and egg yolks using an electric mixer.
- Add sugar, and beat until thick and pale, about 10 minutes.
- If you have a stand mixer, use the whisk attachment.
- Sift the flour and baking powder into the egg mixture, and fold in by hand along with the milk.
- Stir just until the batter is mixed.
- Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- When finished, invert the cake pan onto a sheet of waxed paper, and cool completely.
- This will give you nice even petits fours.
- Cut the cooled cake into small squares, rectangles or triangles, and arrange the pieces in rows on a wire rack or glazing screen with plenty of space between rows.
- Set the rack over a shallow pan or waxed paper to catch the drips.
- Spoon or pour warmed petit four icing over the small cakes.
- The drippings may be scraped off of the pan or paper, and reheated for use again.
- Allow the petits fours to set until completely dry.
- Lift the cakes from the rack with a metal spatula, and trim the bottom edges with a sharp knife.
- Set into small muffin papers for easy handling.
- Decorate as desired.
