How to Make Triple Chocolate Petit Fours

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. Prepare the chocolate sponge cake batter according to your preferred recipe (Recipezaar's Derf recipe is recommended). Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  3. Once cooled, level the top of the cake and cut it into 1-inch squares.
  4. Prepare the simple syrup: Combine 1 cup sugar and 1 cup water in a saucepan. Heat over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Cool completely. Optionally, add 1-2 tablespoons of your favorite liqueur or coffee extract.
  5. Prepare the chocolate frosting according to your preferred recipe (a classic chocolate buttercream is recommended).
  6. Prepare the chocolate glaze according to your preferred recipe (Allrecipes.com recipes are suggested).
  7. Brush each cake square generously with the simple syrup.
  8. Frost the top of each cake square with a generous dollop of chocolate frosting.
  9. Let the frosting set slightly.
  10. Dip each frosted cake square into the chocolate glaze, ensuring they are fully coated.
  11. Place the glazed petit fours on a wire rack to allow the glaze to set completely.
  12. Once the glaze has set, carefully transfer the petit fours to a serving platter.
