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…
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….
Peanut-Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies, Paris Style
Admittedly, when I nominated this recipe all I saw was peanut butter, chocolate and cookie. I did not notice the number of additional steps:) Since I voted for this I decided to dive deep and do all the components. Brittle, Praline Sprinkle and Spread To make the brittle, recipe calls for a nonstick baking sheet…
Potato-Parm Tart
I love a good tart, sweet or savory, and this was a great tart. Everyone loved this side dish including my son. Anything with a crust, cream cheese, Parmesan cheese and potatoes is a winner in my book. My comments were great, make again and that is just what we are going to do. To…
Chocolate Babka
I had the good fortune to make chocolate babka before, I made the version from Jerusalem A Cookbook by Ottolenghi and Tamimi. Yeasted bread is a make ahead affair and doubly so with a filling and topping. The end result was well worth the wait. I took Kim’s advice and made two loaves and froze…
Coffee-Anise Stars
Nothing says holiday baking more than a cut-out cookie. I rummaged through my stash of cookie cutters and found not only a star but a moon too. These are a plan-ahead cookie as the dough needs to chill at least one hour in the freezer or 3 hours in the refrigerator. I made my dough…
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 🙂 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….
Pear-Comté Tart
This week on Tuesdays with Dorie we are baking from the Salty Side Up section of Baking with Dorie. The base is an all-purpose tart dough which is partially baked then brushed with Dijon mustard. The filling is quiche-like with eggs, milk, heavy cream and cheese, lots and lots of cheese. I picked Gruyère cheese…
Goat Cheese Bites
My husband does not like blue cheese so I knew I was going to have to make a substitution. I asked one of our good friends his take on blue cheese and he sent me this response, “Cheese is white, yellow, orange or similar shade but never blue.” Blue Cheese Bites turned into Goat Cheese Bites…
