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…

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…
Double-Chocolate Rhubarb Tart
This week on Tuesdays with Dorie we are making a tart, something always appreciated in our house. As soon as we picked this item to make I started scouring the grocery stores for rhubarb, an elusive item at times. I found some rhubarb at one of my local grocery stores, Pavilions, and snatched up 4…
Chocolate Caramel Chestnut Cake
I made this fancy cake for my mother-in-law’s birthday. There are several steps which can be done ahead of time; ganache, cake, syrup and glaze. The recipe comes from Baking From My Home to Yours by Dorie Greenspan but she states the recipe comes from Bon Appetite. I started sourcing ingredients just after Christmas thinking…
Caramel Crunch-Chocolate Chunklet Cookies
These slice and bake cookies are a welcome addition to the shortbread category. I went with the all chocolate variety since I would be sharing these with my son with his nut allergy. The first batch I baked I followed the time on the directions which was 22 minutes. They did not caramelize much so…
Copenhagen Rye Cookies with Chocolate, Spice and Seeds
Since our family loved Mokonuts’ Rye-Cranberry Chocolate Chunk Cookies, I was pretty sure we were going to love these too. Also I make Multigrain Scones from Das Cookbook by Hans Rockenwagerner that includes flax seeds, sesame, seeds and sunflower seeds which is similar to this recipe. I had used up my current stash of rye…
Devil’s Thumbprints
If these don’t get you into the holiday spirit then I don’t know what will 🙂 Our latest baking assignment comes from Baking with Dorie. This is a plan ahead cookie as the dough needs to chill for 2 hours. I decided to make a half a recipe which I am glad I did as…
Liam Charles’s Chocolate Marshmallow Biscuits
Inspired by the latest season of the Junior Great British Bake Off, I decided to make Liam’s poop emoji biscuits ie cookies. It was a revelation to me that the recipes were available on the website, I did not know this. The recipe is printed by UK standards ie the metric system. I was not…
Mocha-Almond Torte
This week’s selection comes from Dorie’s current book, Baking with Dorie. We were invited to our friends house for Passover dinner, I usually bring a dessert. This mocha almond torte was a welcome addition to the meal. Dorie’s version uses walnuts but my family does not like walnuts so I substituted for almonds which Dorie…
Lick-the-Pot Chocolate Pudding Pie
It looked perfect, it sliced perfect and it tasted perfect. I can’t think of anything we didn’t like about this chocolate pudding pie. I gleefully purchased the Biscoff cookies for the crust and according to my husband it was the best crust ever. There was a fair amount of chopping of chocolate and stiring of…
