Happy Mother’s Day to all the Moms out there. I voted for this because I think whipped cream, berries and cake is a quintessential spring dessert and perfect for Mother’s Day. Based on reviews from those that have made this already, I needed to enlist a dish washer ie my husband and I needed to…

Swedish Fika Cake
Here is a dessert that is completely new to me, Swedish Fika Cake. The cake is baked in a spring form pan. I placed some parchment paper on the bottom of my pan and then buttered and floured the pan as directed. The cake base is a butter cake with nearly 2 sticks of butter….
Cranberry Spice Squares
Happy Thanksgiving! I managed to bake on time and take a picture but posting timely still proves to be an issue for me đŸ™‚ I served these for our annual Friendsgiving and they were a big hit especially the cream cheese frosting. The holiday spices made for a perfect dessert. Definitely a make again recipe….
Caramel-Pear and Cinnamon Upside-Down Cake
We are in a caramel mood with the Dorie baking groups having just finished a caramel-apple crisp from Baking with Dorie. We really enjoyed the caramel sauce so another version was welcomed. I purchased D’Anjou pears as they looked the best. I was out of Chinese five-spice so I took Dorie’s substitution for cinnamon. I…
Cornmeal Skillet Cake
This cornmeal buttermilk cake can be made in a loaf pan or a skillet pan, I went with the latter. I obviously used the optional berries. This was an easy cake and only required two bowls unless you count the vessel used to melt the butter. The skillet version bakes up quick in only 30…
Swirled, Spiced Sour Cream Bundt Cake
We have not had cake in a while so this was a nice treat and I can’t remember the last time I made a bundt cake. For the swirl, I omitted the nuts so my son could eat it, I used chopped chocolate the dark kind and my unsweetened cocoa was also dark chocolate. The…
Blueberry – Mascarone Roulade
From Around My French Table by Dorie Greenspan, I made this roulade for Mother’s Day. It is one of the many desserts I have not had a chance to make from this book yet. A dessert with fresh blueberries seemed just right for spring time. It is a sponge cake baked, rolled in a towel…
Molasses Coffee Cake
This cake was perfect for the holiday season; warm spices, molasses and coffee. My husband loved the smell as it was baking in the oven. I had to make one change to the glaze, I could not find white chocolate so I had to substitute. The next best thing I could find was salted blond…
Carrément Chocolat, The Fancy Cake
This posting of Tuesdays with Dorie is bittersweet; we have come to the end of Baking Chez Moi. My husband said, “well start from the beginning again” which does sound like a good idea. I am not sure who has had more fun in this journey, me or my husband. This is the first Dorie…
Blueberry-buttermilk Bundt Cake
With the heat of the summer, blueberries are in season every where so this was the perfect summer cake. It was painful to turn on my oven, we were having a heatwave in California, but I did it any way. I had most of the ingredients for this bundt cake but picked up fresh blueberries,…
