Tuesdays With Dorie – Chewy, Chunky Blondies
My recipes always end in disaster when I am supposed to get them out of the pan, and then flip them over, and then flip them over again. Why would you make me do this? 1/4 of my blondies came out of the pan, and the rest wouldn’t budge. I replaced them as well as [...]
Read More..>>Tuesdays With Dorie – Lots-Of-Ways Banana Cake
There were lots of ways to eat this banana cake. I chose to cut the cake into chunks, freeze it, and then use it to cool my Mountain Dew for a tropical flavor treat. Okay, that’s actually incorrect. I slathered a bit of home-whipped, mildly sweetened/almond-flavored cream in between the layers and called it a [...]
Read More..>>Tuesdays With Dorie – Brrrrr-ownies
These brownies turned out excellently in every way – flavor, density. Heck, I even managed to properly bake them so that they weren’t goop. With the overload of Peppermint, these seem more like a Christmasy thing, although they’re definitely a bit more “refreshing” and a bit less cloying than straight-chocolate brownies. On a side note, [...]
Read More..>>Tuesdays With Dorie – Tarte Noire
Pretty straightforward, and the perfect thing to throw together after a holiday weekend – tart crusts and chocolate ganache. Delicious, too (even though Rachel says it tastes “like Hershey’s syrup in a graham cracker crust,” which has so many wrong things about it that I can’t even think straight).
Read More..>>Tuesdays With Dorie – Rum-Drenched Vanilla Cake
As a teetotaler, I hesitated at the idea of rum-drenched cake. I did cut back a bit on the rum in the recipe, and the cake is still delicious so there is that. Bang, zoom, to the moon!
Read More..>>Tuesdays With Dorie – Dressy Chocolate Loafcake
So it’s a chocolate cake in the shape of a loaf of bread, sandwiching cherry jam, and covered in a sour-cream-based chocolate icing. Mine doesn’t look dressy because I’m sloppy, lazy, and awful. But I made it, I ate some, and it was good. There.
Read More..>>Tuesdays With Dorie – Raisin Swirl Bread
I’d say that given all the complications in making this bread, this didn’t turn out too badly. I froze the dough for a good forty-five minutes (that’s an extra fifteen minutes) and it still wasn’t solid enough to roll. As a result, I didn’t really end up with a Swirl Bread as much as I [...]
Read More..>>Tuesdays With Dorie – Tender Shortcakes
I’m not 100% sure how these can be tender. It’s not a chunk of meat, and it’s not love for Elvis. It’s a cake. It’s pretty good. As you can see, my sloppy presentation this week is related to cutting the cake in half. I filled it with raspberries and blueberries but you couldn’t really [...]
Read More..>>Tuesdays With Dorie – White Chocolate Brownies
These are not brownies, right? There’s no chocolate (white chocolate is not chocolate). The consistency and flavor of this lean more towards a “white chocolate razzleberry cake,” so that’s what I’ll call this. Still super-delicious. I would recommend bringing this to a picnic or funeral.
Read More..>>Tuesdays With Dorie – Banana Coconut Ice Cream Pie
When I heard this was with chocolate ice cream (which is objectively the worst flavor of ice cream), I thought it would be bad news. When I saw that the crust was made up of coconut, butter, and crumbled up cookies (I used Pecan Sandies), I thought it sounded ridiculous. When I tasted the dang [...]
