We have made a few things similar to this dessert. We have made Cocoa Linzer Cookies from Baking Chez Moi and Thanksgiving Bars from Dorie’s Cookies. This is the first time we have made a linzer tart. The cocoa dough includes all-purpose flour and almond flour, cocoa and chopped chocolate. The filling includes fresh cranberries…

My Favorite Pumpkin Pie
Out of all the things we bake in this group I would say that pies are my weakest dish especially the crust. Rolling the dough and preventing the shrinkage in blind baking are still elusive to me. Since my crust shrunk I had extra filling enough to fill two 8 ounce ramekins, my husband wasn’t…
Custardy Apple and Kale Cake
This week’s selection comes from the Salty Side Up, of Baking with Dorie. She describes it as almost pudding, hum how intriguing. The recipe calls for an 8-inch springform but I only had a 9-inch one. I decided to use my 8-inch cake pan so the dish would be the right size. I didn’t want…
The Daily Bread: White Bread Edition
We are making bread this week on Tuesdays with Dorie. From her cookbook Baking with Dorie, she says this is the recipe to start with when beginning to make bread. I seem to only make bread when it is assigned and I don’t know why. This recipe was easy to follow and with good results….
Double-Apple Picnic Pie
This week on Tuesdays with Dorie we are making picnic pies. Dorie describes a picnic pie as “large, slim, fruit filled pastries, built in low-rimmed pans..” Since I was not cooking for a crowd I decided to use a traditional pie pan. My family was not too keen on a pear pie so I turned…
Tenderest Shortbread Four Ways
Lately I have been in clean out mode so for our next recipe from Baking with Dorie I decided to make two of the four recipes since I had ingredients to use up. First up I made the Spelt-Flax Shortbread. My spelt flour has been languishing in my refrigerator for far too long so I…
Devil’s Food Party Cake
This week’s recipe comes from Baking with Dorie. I decided to make this party cake for our Labor Day celebration. This cake is definitely for the chocolate lover 🍫. I thought my cakes were too slim to cut in half so I left this as a two-layer cake. This was a nice moist and chocolatey…
Ricotta-Tomato Tart
I bought these beautiful Campari tomatoes for this tart and they were delicious 😋. Along with the ricotta cheese, lemon and eggs I added basil and thyme as my fresh herbs 🪴. I made this on a hot summer day and served it with a salad for a nice dinner. My husband and I really…
Park Avenue Brownies
I waited for our summer BBQ to make these brownies and I made a double batch; one with nuts and one without. I busted out my new container of fleur de sel that I purchased in France for this recipe also. These were a hit with the crowd and they all disappeared. I particularly like…
Blueberry Biscuits
This week on Tuesdays with Dorie we are making breakfast biscuits. These biscuits are similar to a scone recipe I make. This version uses plain yogurt and milk as the dairy portion, my recipe uses sour cream and an egg yolk. The dry ingredients include flour, baking powder, salt and soda. Lemon zest is rubbed…
