Dorie suggests a variety of vessels you can use to make these cakes. I chose to make mine in mini-muffin tins. I got a total of 17 mini-muffins and I baked them approximately 12 minutes. The ganache was plenty for 17 but not the toppings. I ran out of peanuts and chopped chocolate after about…

Rose-Hibiscus Shortbread Fans
I actually made Hibiscus Shortbread Fans. I have not had any luck finding rose products so I just decided to leave it out. I don’t think I have made shortbread before so this was a new adventure for me. I must have mixed my dough incorrectly as I had trouble getting it into the pan…
Granola Cake
Our latest baking assignment for Tuesdays with Dorie is this Granola Cake from Baking Chez Moi. Dorie calls it a snack cake but I think it is more like a pan cookie. It was delicious but quite dense from the granola, chocolate and coconut. My husband likened it to a magic bar cookie but much…
Honey-Yogurt Mousse
This dessert was not on my radar. We are not a mousse family and I was not looking forward to this but as usual I was proven wrong. This was a cup of deliciousness; the tang of the yogurt, richness of the heavy cream and the sweetness of the honey. A cloud of a dessert….
Christmas Spice Cookies
These Christmas Spice Cookies were a delicious addition to the holiday baking season. Dorie’s flavors are always on point and this recipe was no exception. Everyone enjoyed them. I had a lot of trouble with the dough. I chilled for 3 plus hours, the dough was firm when I took it out but while I…
Spiced Honey Cake
Tis the season…for sniffling, sneezing, coughing, you get the picture. I am behind in my baking due to seasonal colds. My husband found my Baking Chez Moi cookbook open and asked honey cake today? Sadly this went on for a week but I am now back on my feet ready to bake. This cake is…
Apple Speculoos Crumble
Apple Speculoos Crumble from Baking Chez Moi by Dorie Greenspan One of the things I like best about being a part of a baking group is not having to decide what to make for my next holiday meal. This apple speculoos crumble was a great accompaniment to the pumpkin pie that was served at our Thanksgiving…
Peanut Butter Change Ups
This week on Tuesdays with Dorie we are baking from Dorie’s Cookies. I chose the Peanut Butter Change-Ups as one of two recipes to choose from. My husband and I love peanut butter but sadly my son is allergic so I don’t cook with peanut products much. These cookies deviate from the standard in that they…
Caramel Tart
I hosted my first Friendsgiving of the season, a term I am just now becoming acquainted with, this past weekend. Thanksgiving is by far my favorite holiday. It is the holiday I host for my family and I love all the food. Every year I host what I called a Pre-Thanksgiving for friends that I…
Chocolate Sandwich Cookies
Tuesdays with Dorie is starting a new book, Dorie’s Cookies, which was just released October 25th. I actually have a copy of the book but not at my house. My sister pre-ordered the book for me way back in April and it delivered to her house instead of mine. My sister lives 50 miles from…
