TWD - Custardy Apple and Kale Cake

 

This week’s Tuesdays with Dorie recipe is Custardy Apple Kale Cake. It is a hybrid sweet-savoury cake, and as Dorie says, is like an omelette but more elegant.

The cake contains apples, kale, cheese, eggs, flour and salt and pepper. I may have been a little skeptical (cue savoury muffins -yuk), but this cake is delicious.

I kept half and gave half to the neighbours. My half made a delicious lunch with boiled egg and tomato over a few days.

TWD - Fall Harvest Cake

This week’s Tuesdays with Dorie recipe, from Dorie’s Anytime Cakes, is Fall Harvest Cake.   As the name suggests, it is choc-o-block full of fruits and nuts.

Although the seasons are topsy turvy here, I was easily able to obtain grapes for the top of the cake, which sat along side the sliced apple and chopped nuts. The inside of the cake is full of dried fruit (dried pears and “mixed fruit” for me). I used pear and lavender jam for the glaze on top (needs must!).

 This cake was soft, moist and delicious, and not too sweet. To quote Kim, “it’s a keeper”.

TWD - My Favourite Pumpkin Pie

We don’t have an equivalent of Thanksgiving in Australia, but I am happy to indulge in this week’s Tuesdays with Dorie recipe, My Favourite Pumpkin Pie.

I have not made enough pumpkin pies to tell you whether this one is my favourite, but it is certainly delicious!!! The pastry shell is filled with a smooth, creamy pumpkin-flavoured custard.

I did not serve this pie with whipped cream - it was perfect as is. It is definitely the kind of dessert that I like.
