TWD - Devil’s Food Party Cake


This week’s Tuesday with Dorie recipe is Devil’s Food Party Cake. It’s a delicious, rich double layer chocolate cake filled and covered with decadent chocolate fudge policy.


I decided to bake my cake in heart shaped tins - because why not? They are super pretty.


Look at those rich fudgy layers! I decorated my cake with fresh raspberries for a pop of colour and tang.

TWD - Tenderest Shortbread Four Ways


This week’s Tuesdays with Dorie recipe is Tenderest Shortbread Four Ways. Thanks to Steph for sending me the recipe while I am away from my book.

I chose to make just the original version of this shortbread, but Dorie also provided variations for wholemeal, rye-chocolate and spelt-flax versions.

Dorie says that this shortbread recipe produces tender cookies because of icing sugar and eggs in the dough. 

These cookies smelled delicious while baking, and tasted good too. If I was energetic, I could have dipped some of them in chocolate, but I’m not 😁
