TRIPLE CHOCOLATE PETIT FOURS
The recipe as written uses chocolate sponge cake, simple syrup, chocolate frosting, and chocolate glaze. The chocolate sponge cake recipe that I used was found here on Recipezaar from Derf and I added some additional guidelines and tips. The chocolate glaze recipe is from AllRecipes.com. Feel free to use the basic outline of the recipe to create your own petit fours. Just use the basic components (sponge cake aka genoise, simple syrup, some sort of filling like frosting/jelly/buttercream/fruit curd, and glaze such as marzipan/fondant/ganache) and follow the assembly instructions given. You can add flavored liquor, coffee, etc to the simple syrup recipe (equal parts sugar and water) to give a little extra flavor.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees and spray a 9''x9'' cake pan with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, combine the whites only of 4 eggs (reserve 2 of the yolks for later). Try to avoid any 'goldfish' (little bits of yolk in the egg whites). If you do get goldfish, it's okay for this recipe, just realize that you won't get peaks when you beat it.
- Add the 1/4 t cream of tartar and 1/4 t salt to the egg whites. Beat until foamy.
- Add the 1/3 c Splenda/sugar to the egg white mixture and beat until stiff peaks form (or until foamy and well-mixed if you had goldfish).
- Beat in egg yolks and vanilla.
- In a small bowl, mix together the 1/4 c flour and 1/4 c cocoa.
- Lightly fold the flour mixture into the egg mixture.
- Pour batter into prepared cake pan and bake for 25 minutes, or until cake springs back lightly to touch.
- Once the cake is finished baking, turn out onto parchment lined baking rack to cool.
- When the cake is cool, slice into two layers using a long, sharp knife with a serrated blade.
- To make the simple syrup: combine the 1/2 c water and 1/2 c Splenda/sugar in a small saucepan and heat until sugar is dissolved.
- Using a pastry brush, coat both sides of the two cake layers with the simple syrup mixture.
- To make the frosting: cream the 3 T unsalted butter with 1/4 t vanilla. Add the 1 1/2 c powdered sugar and 1/4 c cocoa and blend gently to avoid the powders flying everywhere. CAREFULLY add just enough water to get a thick frosting (caution on this because if you add way too much you'll need to start over with the frosting, it only takes just a little water).
- Spread the frosting over one layer of the cake. Top this layer with the other layer and then frost the top of your layered cake.
- Using your sharp serrated knife again, cut the cake into 36 pieces (5 equal cuts in both directions). To make the pieces perfectly the same size you can measure and insert toothpicks as markers before you cut.
- To make the glaze: In a double boiler, melt the 16 oz bittersweet chocolate, the 1 c unsalted butter, and the 2 T light corn syrup. Stir often until well-blended.
- Set a baking rack over a cookie sheet covered with parchment paper. Set the layered cake pieces on the backing rack with spaces between each piece to let the chocolate flow over their sides.
- Pour the glaze over the cake pieces, taking care to cover the sides. The excess glaze will pool on the cookie sheet and may be reheated and reused. **For less waste, you can half the amount of glaze and coat in two phases, or have another recipe ready to use the excess glaze in.**.
- Allow the glaze to cool. I relocate the baking rack to the freezer to speed up the process once the pieces are slightly cooled.
- For the white hearts decoration: melt the white chocolate chips in a clean double boiler. Once the petit fours are well-hardened, use a clean paintbrush to paint the white chocolate hearts (or whatever decoration you'd like) on the tops. You may need to go over them more than once to get a nice white color without mixing with the dark brown glaze.

FONDANT GLAZED PETIT FOURS
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a mixer fitted with a whisk attachment whip the egg whites until stiff but not dry. In a mixer fitted with a whip attachment cream the butter until smooth. With the mixer running, slowly add the sugar and mix. Add the vanilla and almond extract and mix well.
- Sift the flour 3 times with the baking powder (this is to lighten the cakes). Add 1/3 of the flour mixture to the butter mixture and mix. Add 1/2 of the milk to the butter mixture and mix. Add another 1/3 of the flour mixture and mix. Add the remaining milk and mix. Add the remaining flour and mix until smooth. Fold in the egg whites.
- Pour the batter into a parchment lined jellyroll pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake until firm to the touch 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool in the pan then chill.
- To make the fondant: Whisk the corn syrup into the hot water until dissolved, then whisk in the powdered sugar until smooth. Stir in lemon extract. Divide into smaller bowls and color with food coloring, adding color until you achieve desired shade.
- To make the petit fours, cut the cold cake into small squares, rectangles, and circles using small cookie cutters. Place the cakes on a wire rack over a pan to catch the drippings, inverting them in order to have the golden layer on the bottom. If the fondant has become stiff, just whisk until smooth again. If the fondant is has not become to stiff, proceed to the next step. Either dip the cakes into the fondant and place on the rack to drain or ladle the fondant over the cakes, making sure all sides are coated. Once they are set, they should be coated again. Let dry, then with melted chocolate or colored fondant, pipe thin decorative lines or use silver dragees.
- Notes about the recipe: There are many options for these darling little cakes. You can split the cake in half horizontally and spread it with jam, you can spread jam on the top and stick down a thin layer of rolled marzipan or do the simplest plain version like I did here. You can also tint the fondant different pastel colors.

- Remove the cake from the pan, by turning it upside-down onto a layer of waxed paper sprinkled with powdered sugar and remove the waxed paper from the bottom of the cake.
- Then cut the cake into thirds, remove the top layer and spread with your choice of fillings. These were my choices: Sprinkled the base with whisky cream liqueur, chocolate hazelnut spread and sprinkled with crushed meringue. Covered with crunchy speculoos spread (cookie butter from Trader Joe’s). Covered with smooth speculoos spread (I added crushed meringue on this one too).
- Now, place the top layer back on the bottoms, and cut each third into 18 squares. Use a knife dipped into hot water and wipe with a paper towel in between cuts, to keep the cake “clean”.
