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 a mini bundt pan, and I lent my full sized bundt pan to a friend, so I ended up making mini round cakes. The recipe was fairly simple, and luckily I had milk chocolate on hand. Unfortunately, I wasn’t too pleased with the results. The cake was too crumbly for me- it definitely needed the chocolate glaze to rescue it. Maybe it would have been better as an actual bundt, but it wasn’t a hit for me.
Last Week’s Pick:
Cocoa-Nana Bread, chosen by Steph of Obsessed With Baking
I was excited about this bread- I love bananas and I love chocolate. But, this recipe was also a disappointment for me. I baked mini-loaves and they came out crumbly and dry. I read other posts and it seemed to be a common problem.. what a bummer! Maybe an extra banana would have done the trick.
Two Weeks Ago:
Chocolate Oatmeal Almost Candy Bars, chosen by Lillian of Confectiona’s Realm
These were, BY FAR, my favorite treat of the bunch. I was so glad that I made these! I really enjoyed the chocolate layer and the oat mixture.. so basically, the whole thing. I will definitely make these again, probably with more of the crumb mixture on the bottom- so good!
*Tuesdays with Dorie (TWD) is a group of bloggers baking through Dorie Greenspan’s Baking: From My Home to Yours.
Wow! Your back in a big way. Way to catch up. All your goodies look good.
Yummmmm. Miss you lady.
Wow that was an ambitious post! I didn’t love these cakes either, but am having fond memories of the oatmeal bars!
A triple treat.
Wonderful.
Wow! You were a busy lady! Of the three, I would have to agree that the bars were my favorite too, then the minis, and lastly the cocoa-nana thing. 🙂
yay you’re back!
i like the triple post
Welcome back! Nice photos, too! 🙂
Yum! I want to try the almost candy bars soon!
Wow! They all look fabulous! Thanks so much for baking with me this week!
