Tuesdays with Dorie Baking Chez Moi Moka Dupont is the French version of an American Ice Box Cake.

Crumb-Topped Apple Bars
Tuesdays with Dorie Dorie’s Cookies I made these for a dinner party I was attending. My husband said “the apple bars are getting rave reviews”. And sure enough they all disappeared. This was a great ending to a bar cookie that got a rocky start. I had a few challenges this week with this recipe….

Simplest Plum Tart
Tuesdays with Dorie Baking Chez Moi This month is going to be a fruity month for Baking Chez Moi. I had already purchased my peaches for our Brown Butter Peach Tourte when I found these Italian plums. I am not familiar with Italian plums so I did a little research and found they are also called…
Milk-And-Cookies Cupcakes

There are mini chocolate chips inside the cupcake for added texture. The frosting which was delicious was made with melted milk chocolate. I thought this cupcake captured the essence of milk…
