Tuesdays With Dorie: Banana Coconut Ice Cream Pie

Before I begin… thanks Spike for choosing this pie.  It’s so good! This week’s TWD pick is Banana Coconut Ice Cream Pie.  It’s a coconut butter crust, a layer of bananas and a layer of chocolate ice cream mixed with bananas.  I wasn’t sure what to expect with this pie, but I think it was […]

Do I Get a Pass Card?

No Apple Apple Bread Pudding for TWD this week.  (Check out the recipe at Cake or Death.)  Here are my excuses: 1. I have no bread, apple butter, or heavy cream. 2. I would go to the grocery store, but my sweet little two-month-old just got his first shots today and I want to keep […]

Dorie’s Best Chocolate Chip Cookies

This week’s pick is Dorie’s Best Chocolate Chip Cookies, chosen by Kait at Kait’s Plate. Many of us out here in Foodieland are on the search for the perfect chocolate chip cookie, or have been for years.  We all have a different definition of “perfect”- chewy, crispy, chunky, nuts, no nuts.. the list goes on. […]

TWD: Rick Katz’s Brownies For Julia

 Look at this on-time Dorie post!  There must be something in the air around here. This week’s pick is Rick Katz’s Brownies for Julia, chosen by Chocolatechic. Hello, delicious! I was delighted with these brownies.  I’m in the fudgy brownies camp, so they were perfect for me.  I loved all the components- crackly top, chewy […]

Triple TWD!

  Did you ever think you’d see my return to TWD?  I’ve been baking, I just haven’t been posting- lack of camera, you understand.  But, today, I’m fully prepared with a triple Dorie recap! This week’s pick:  Milk Chocolate Mini Bundt Cakes, chosen by Kristen of I’m Right About Everything.   I didn’t actually have […]

Tuesdays With Dorie: Sugar-Topped Molasses Cookies

Hello, November! If you follow any other TWDers*, you might notice that we’re not all posting the same recipe today. Our November recipes are Chocolate Caramel Chestnut Cake, Cran-Apple Crisps, Sugar-Topped Molasses Cookies and All-in-One Holiday Bundt Cake. Since it’s a holiday month, we have the liberty of choosing which recipe we want to post […]

Tuesdays With Dorie: Banana Bundt Cake

I mustered up the strength for TWD this week, ladies! My main reason was because I love Mary so much, but also because I’ve wanted to try out the recipe in the past. Mary is the queen of bundt cakes, but I decided to do mini loaves because (gasp!) I don’t have a bundt pan. […]

Tuesdays With Dorie: Perfect Party Cupcakes

This week’s TWD is hosted by Mix, Mix, Stir, Stir.  It’s Dorie’s Perfect Party Cake, a famed recipe among many TWDers.  I decided to make it into cupcakes, because.. you know, it’s what I do. The cupcake consists of Dorie’s lemon cake, raspberry puree filling, Dorie’s buttercream and sweetened coconut.  And I have to tell […]

Tuesdays With Dorie: Mango Bread

This week’s TWD is Fresh Mango Bread. I used frozen mango. Woops. I was pretty excited about this recipe (picked by Kelly at Baking with the Boys), thinking it might be a little healthier than some of the other recipes, what with the fruit and all. I made just 1/3 of the recipe, which produced […]

Tuesdays with Dorie: Everything But .. Tiramisu Cake

I had a plan for this TWD. I really did. I was going to make little cakelettes, I had it all planned out. But here’s what happened: Couldn’t find a big cutter, used a mini cutter, cakelettes just weren’t the way I pictured them. So I ditched the cakelette idea. Moved on to a parfait. […]
