We are down to the final few recipes in Baking with Dorie and surprisingly most of them contain chocolate. First up is this Coconut-Milk-Chocolate Marble Cake. Made in a 9-inch loaf pan, this was easy to put together. The cake batter is divided in half with one part flavored with milk chocolate and the other…

Mary Dodd’s Maple-Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookies
This was one fine cookie indeed. Who would have thought of putting maple syrup in and on a chocolate chip cookie with bacon? Mary Dodd of course. My mother-in-law declared it the best cookie she ever ate. My husband, who sometimes complains there is too much chocolate, has been eagerly eating one every night. The…
Candied Almond Tart
My almond loving husband was intrigued by this recipe. The crust is cookie dough-like made with confectioners’ sugar, salt, cinnamon, egg yolk, vanilla, a whopping 10 tablespoons of butter and flour. Per Dorie, the crust comes together like Play-Doh and is pressed into the tart pan. I used all the dough which seemed like a…
Tea and Honey Madeleines
We have made several madeleines over the years on Tuesdays with Dorie, this latest version comes from Baking with Dorie. This was an interesting recipe in which butter is melted and cooked with the tea of two tea bags. I cooked until the butter was browned. The recipe called for the zest of a clementine…
Chocolate-Tipped Cream Puff Pocky Sticks
I remember when I discovered Pocky Sticks, the Japanese Chocolate-capped biscuits. Both of my sisters happened to have visited Japan in the 1980s and brought back some Pocky Sticks, they were a fun treat indeed. Dorie’s take on this Japanese treat is made with cream puff dough. Making the dough was pretty straightforward. I have…
Twist Bread
This week on Tuesdays with Dorie we are baking bread. I am really starting to enjoy making bread and this loaf was no exception. This recipe is surprisingly easy despite its fancy appearance. Dorie’s picture tutorial on how to roll, cut, twist, braid and round into an 8-inch cake pan was very helpful. I will…
Apricot and Pistachio-Olive Oil Cake
Surprisingly I had all the ingredients for our latest assignment for Tuesday with Dorie. The recipe calls for apricot preserves but we had 3 jars of orange marmalade so I used that instead. I also left out the tea leaves since I only had bags which my husband called dust. I leaned forward on the…
Meringue Snackers
Tuesdays with Dorie, Baking with Dorie edition. Meringue Snackers are the dessert of the week and the basis of other recipes we have baked. Little Marvels and Classic Ice Cream Vacherin were particular favorites in our house. I chose to make my meringue snackers into Pavlovas, I was inspired by the golden berries that turned…
Classic Chocolate Chip Cookies
This week on Tuesdays with Dorie we are cooking from Baking with Dorie. This classic chocolate chip cookie was a resounding success. I baked these along with our Banana Cappuccino Cake since I knew some folks do not like coconut and/or coffee flavors. These cookies are on the thin side, have lots of chocolate and…
Brioche Sticky Buns
My son was home for a visit so I used this opportunity to make the ‘labor of love’ Brioche Sticky Buns from Baking with Dorie. The recipe is a two day process since the brioche dough needs to rest overnight. Once the dough is chilled, it is pretty straightforward on making the buns. Roll out…
