SIMPLE BUTTER CAKE FOR PETIT FOURS

Beautiful Petit Fours that are quick and easy to make for any occasion.

Today (finally), I’m going to share How to Make Perfect Petit Fours.  The first couple of times I made petit fours, they were a serious headache for me.  I didn’t love the recipe I was using, the icing was a nightmare and my  method for cutting and covering them was a mess.

INGREDIENTS

• 2 3/4 cups sugar
• 3/4 cup salted butter, softened
• 3/4 cup shortening
• 2 tsp. vanilla extract
• 5 eggs
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup evaporated milk
• 1/4 cup sour cream

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Cream together the sugar, butter and shortening until smooth then beat in vanilla. Add eggs, one at a time, until fluffy.
2. In a separate bowl, sift together the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, and salt). Add this flour mixture and the evaporated milk to the original mixture alternately. Beat for 2 minutes on medium speed, then fold in the sour cream.
3. Spread onto a parchment lined half sheet pan. Bake at 325°F until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean (25-35 minutes – but check at 25 minutes!).
