TWD - Strawberry-Rhubarb Squares

This week’s Tuesday with Dorie recipe is Strawberry-Rhubarb Squares. It’s summer in the US, so this recipe is a great way to showcase summer fruit. It’s winter here, so I am enjoying summer vicariously through baking.

 This is a delicious cake which has a high proportion of fruit to cake. The fruit is not sugared so its tartness contrasts with the sweet honey and buttermilk cake.

I found the batter challenging to spread over the recommended 9” pan - it is only a thin layer and it takes quite a bit of work to make it cover the pan.

This cake was delicious served with a dollop of Greek yoghurt.

TWD - Jelly Roll

 This week’s Tuesdays with Dorie recipe is Jelly Roll.  It comprises a light sponge, rolled when still hot out of the oven, then once cooled, filled with ostensibly jelly.

I rebelled and filled my half recipe sponge roll with lemon curd. I am going to serve it for dessert, warmed, with custard. Yum!

TWD - Gouda Gougeres

 This week’s Tuesdays with Dorie recipe was Gouda Gougeres.

The easiest way to explain these is to describe them as savoury cheese choux buns.

I used sesame seeds instead of cumin seeds to decorate my gougeres. My gougeres were also apparently much bigger than they were supposed to be - I made a half recipe expecting about 25 gougeres, when I in fact made 8.

These gougeres were delicious, fresh from the oven.
