TWD - BAKING WITH DORIE - Miso Maple Loaf

-



Dorie Greenspan’s newest book is here and we made Miso Maple Loaf as our first recipe.  It is so exciting to be baking along with so many that were in the original Dorie group back in 2008.  

We do not publish the recipe out of respect for Dorie.  You can order the book from Amazon and have all her wonderful new recipes handy!  The ingredients for this cake are flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, fine sea salt, orange zest, butter, white miso, maple syrup, eggs, vanilla, buttermilk, and orange marmalade (optional).  

Dorie gives very good instruction in her books.  I wanted so badly for my first recipe to come out perfectly.  And it should have.  Unfortunately, everything was going well until it broke in half coming out of the pan.  Accidents happen, even in baking, but it was a big disappointment for me.  I will make this again soon and next time it will be perfect!

I would have topped it with the glaze, but after it broke, I did not see how glazing would help it. I will tell you however, it is very delicious!  It cooked perfectly and was beautiful in the pan.  We will enjoy it for sure!  We like a little snack each night while watching our favorite tv shows and this will be perfect for us.  It has a delicious orange flavor and makes your house smell divine while it is baking!  It would also be delicious for breakfast. 

If you would like to join in, just make it, bake it, and leave a link to your post at the Tuesdays with Dorie website:  click here.

Peggy, it looks beautiful! You have such a knack of making things look extra pretty...those orange slices are just perfect with it. I'm so happy you are going to be joining in and baking again, it's not the same without you! xo

If you hadn't said that it broke, I would not have even noticed! Looks lovely!

Your loaf is lovely with the citrus slices on top. Just enough to jazz it up. Great that we are with TWD again.

Ina Garten's Deviled Eggs!

This is appetizers week in our Ina Garten Fridays group!!  I chose her deviled eggs because we love deviled eggs and I never deviate from my old family recipe so I thought I would branch out and try something different.  I'm so glad I did!  I love these and I am sure my DH will love them tonight for dinner also. With just these ingredients, you can impress your guests or yourself, with some delicious deviled eggs. Ina's recipe says to hardboil six eggs.  (I only did five because that was all I had and mine turned out a little fluffier than they probably should have, but delicious just the same).  If you don't know how to boil eggs, please take a minute to learn.  If your eggs turn out green, you have overcooked them.  To make perfect boiled eggs every time, I put my eggs in cold water and put them on the stove, bring to a boil.  As soon as they begin boiling, I take them off the stove and cover and let them sit for 15 minutes.  At this point, they are perfe

TWD - Steph’s Bakewell Tart

What is a Bakewell Tart, you might ask.  Apparently it all began in Derbyshire, England.  I had no idea it was popular with  The Great British Baking Show.   This classic  combines a buttery shortcrust pastry with a filling of raspberry jam, (or in my case blackberry jam), topped with an almond spongecake and almond slices. I think there are probably many different versions of the Bakewell. On my first attempt, my crust totally fell apart in the oven.  At that point, I went to plan b and made four mini tarts.  These worked perfectly for us.  I have a very thin layer of the jam and wish I had used a bit more.  We enjoyed this and it was a breeze to put together.   Check out Tuesdayswithdorie.wordpress.com for others.

TWD - Brown Sugar Bundt Cake

It is my turn to host! Almost three years ago I had no idea what a food blog was, much less that there were ladies and gentlemen all across the world baking and writing about such things, and sharing and growing with each other over recipes.  I'm not a chef or a great baker, but I do love to cook for my family so I decided to join in.  Since we are just two days past Mother's Day, I want to thank my sweet mother (who passed away three years ago) for sharing her love of cooking with me. My first Dorie recipe was a fruit galette.  I remember still how delicious it was.  I even remember the first comment I received on my blog.  It was like an award to me!  I still love reading all your comments, so thank you to those of you who regularly stop by to leave encouragement and stop for a second to say hello. Now about Dorie.  I love the way Dorie explains her recipes step by step.  While some of the recipes in her book "appear" complicated, I think any novice could fol
