Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 grams unsalted butter
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 120 grams all-purpose flour
- 40 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 150 grams semisweet chocolate chips
- 120 milliliters heavy cream
- 150 grams dark chocolate (for coating)
- 150 grams milk chocolate (for coating)
- 150 grams white chocolate (for coating)
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until combined.
Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips.
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely in the pan.
Once cooled, gently lift the cake out of the pan using the parchment overhang and trim the edges to create straight sides. Cut the cake into 1-inch squares.
To make the ganache, heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and pour it over the semisweet chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl. Let sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth.
Spread a thin layer of ganache on top of each cake square and let it set in the fridge for 10 minutes.
Melt the dark chocolate, milk chocolate, and white chocolate separately in microwave-safe bowls, adding 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil to each type for a smoother consistency.
Using a fork or a dipping tool, dip each petite cake into one of the melted chocolates, ensuring they are fully coated. Let the excess drip off and place the covered petit fours on a wire rack or parchment-lined tray to set.
To add a decorative touch, drizzle contrasting chocolate over the tops of the petit fours (e.g., white chocolate drizzle over dark chocolate coating).
Allow the chocolate coating to fully set at room temperature or in the fridge before serving.
