Delicious sponge cake ideal for creating petits fours; dense yet tender, perfect for intricate decorations.
Ingredients:
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 0.5 cup milk
  • 5 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 2 cups Frosting for Petits Fours
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) while you generously grease and flour a 10x15 inch jellyroll pan.
  • Using an electric mixer, beat the eggs and egg yolks in a large bowl until thick and pale, about 10 minutes. Add sugar and continue beating. Optionally, use a stand mixer with the whisk attachment. Sift flour and baking powder into the mixture, then fold in by hand with milk. Gently stir until combined. Finally, fold in the melted butter until smooth. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Then, invert the cake pan onto waxed paper and allow it to cool completely to achieve perfectly even petits fours.
  • Cut the chilled cake into small squares, rectangles, or triangles, and neatly place them on a wire rack or glazing screen with ample spacing. Refer to Cook's Notes for flavor ideas. Place the rack over a shallow pan or waxed paper to collect any excess drips.
  • Drizzle the warm petit four icing over the small cakes and allow them to set until completely dry. Lift the cakes with a metal spatula, trim the bottom edges with a sharp knife, and place them in small muffin papers for easy handling. Decorate as desired.
