This week’s selection for Tuesdays with Dorie is a bar aka cake that Dorie describes as “pleasantly dry, sponge texture.” This is Dorie’s version of a Roman dessert she liked. I had to make changes right from the start. I have a Costco size bag of almond flour so I substituted the walnuts for almonds….

Baby Buckwheat Bars
This week on Tuesdays with Dorie is another bar recipe that I think counts as cake and not as a cookie. I am familiar with buckwheat flour (we enjoy buckwheat pancakes) but I usually don’t bake with 100% buckwheat. Dorie describes these as “pleasantly dry and grainy texture” and she is right they have a…
Chocolate Chip Not-Quite Mandelbrot
I am always baking for two families so I made a full recipe. I was pretty sure all would love this one since we all enjoy chocolate. This was a fairly easy recipe as it can be whipped up in one bowl. A full recipe requires three logs but I could not fit all three…
Peanut Brownie Sablés
We have a lot of chocolate/peanut butter lovers in our family. These cookies with a sable base, a brownie twist, peanut butter and chopped peanuts were a big hit. I made the full recipe but gave half to my in-laws and the rest went into the freezer to enjoy later. To see what others thought…
Dark Chocolate Pudding
This was a recipe I was looking forward to. I love chocolate and home made pudding is so good. This is a decadent dessert as it is made with whole milk, heavy cream, eggs, bittersweet chocolate and butter. This dessert did not disappoint, it was chocolaty and delicious. I may decrease the amount of cornstarch…
Mint Chocolate Sablés
Like Is This A Keeper, me and my son’s favorite flavors are mint chocolate chip especially ice cream. I was really looking forward to this flavor combination. Like all Sablé cookies, the dough is made, rolled and chilled either in freezer or refrigerator. Kim had mention that she baked them free form instead of muffin…
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…
Thanksgiving Bars
Even though the season is autumn, it still feels like summer in California, triple digits are way too common. I always enjoy fall baking recipes and this one from Dorie’s cookies was right up my alley. My husband was lucky enough to find frozen cranberries, fresh have not hit the stores yet. Making homemade cranberry…
Salted-Chocolate Hot Fudge Sundaes
Chocolate and ice cream are our two favorite desserts. This one went over very well with the crowd. I made the salted chocolate bits but I am not sure it was worth it. This is the second time I have made salted chocolate and it just isn’t necessary for me. The fudge sauce is of…
Caramelized Cinnamon-Milk Chocolate Tart
I have been looking forward to this tart for a very long time and I was not disappointed and neither was my family. Armed with my cinnamon from Costa Rica, one of my friends bought for me, I delved into this recipe. A quarter of a cup of sugar is caramelized with two cinnamon sticks….
