Tuesdays with Dorie: Peanut Butter Torte

I was one happy lady when I found out that Elizabeth of Ugg Smell Food chose the Peanut Butter torte for this week’s Tuesdays with Dorie recipe. When it was my turn to choose the recipe, I kept going back and forth among this one and a few others, but eventually went with the Snickery [...]

Tuesdays With Dorie: Big Bill’s Carrot Cake

Amanda from Slow Like Honey chose this week’s recipe, which was Big Bill’s Carrot Cake. I was interested to find out what this carrot cake version would be like. Carrot cake is David’s favorite cake and it is a favorite in my family as well. My mom’s carrot cake recipe gets requested [...]

Tuesdays With Dorie: The World’s Most Extraordinary French Lemon Cream Tart

This week’s recipe was Dorie’s French Lemon Cream Tart, chosen by Mary of Starting From Scratch. We had the choice of making either the Lemon Cream Tart or the Fresh Orange Cream Tart since there are a lot of people who don’t like lemon. I wouldn’t have minded either way, but I know [...]

Tuesdays With Dorie Rewind: Perfection Pound Cake

My soon-to-be mother-in-law doesn’t bake. In fact, when she has to bake something, she will usually ask me to do it (and I am more than happy to!). But, she does have a really good pound cake recipe that she got from a friend. She almost always makes it when David’s [...]

Tuesdays with Dorie: Russian Grandmothers’ Apple Pie-Cake

This week’s Dorie recipe was chosen by Natalie of Burned Bits. Thanks Natalie for a great choice! I wasn’t sure what to expect from this recipe. I didn’t know if it would turn out more like a pie or a cake. The crust was very similar to an apple pie, but [...]

Tuesdays With Dorie: Snickery Squares

This week it was my turn to choose the recipe. I am glad that I joined so early, otherwise it would be forever before I would get my turn. Our group is really growing! I had a really hard time deciding because everything in Dorie’s book looks so good. I finally [...]
