TWD - Szarlotka

 This week’s Tuesday with Dorie recipe is Szarlotka, or Polish Apple Cake.

This cake contains over a kilo of apples, as well as raisins. The same dough is used for the base and the top.

It is a massive cake, but if you love cooked apple, it is delicious.

TWD - Banana Breakfast Squares

This week’s recipe for Tuesday with Dorie is Banana Breakfast Squares.

Like it says on the tin, these squares contain bananas. They also contain coffee, pecans, dates and flax seeds.

I only made a half recipe and still ended up with a lot of squares. They taste good, and freeze well - win, win.

TWD - Strawberry Cheesecake-Chocolate No-Bake Pie

 This week’s Tuesday with Dorie recipe is Strawberry Cheesecake-Chocolate No-Bake Pie (phew, quite a mouthful).

For me, the “no bake” part wasn’t quite true as I opted to bake a chocolate crust for my pie. 

The pie crust (which can be made with crushed biscuits for the “no bake” option) is lined with ganache, then halved fresh strawberries, then covered with a white chocolate cheesecake filling.

I made the ganache using chocolate and Greek yoghurt instead of cream. I still had to buy cream to whip for the filling (darn it!), but replaced the sour cream with more Greek yoghurt . It worked a treat.

I had to buy cream, cream cheese and white chocolate to make this pie, which made it an expensive recipe despite my use of yoghurt that I already had and making the pie crust instead of using crushed biscuits. For this reason, although the end product is tasty, it will not be returning in my house.

TWD - Cottage Berry Cobbler

 This week’s Tuesday with Dorie recipe is Cottage Berry Cobbler. A mixture of berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries and blackberries) is macerated with sugar and herbs (basil in my case), then topped with a cream cheese biscuit dough and baked until golden and juicy.

I minified the recipe to make two individual serves of cobbler.

Served warm with Greek yoghurt, this cobbler was a treat on a cold night.

TWD - Lamingtons

 This week’s Tuesday with Dorie recipe is lamingtons. I haven’t made lamingtons for a long time because, as Mardi mentioned, they are rather messy to make.

That said, I love eating lamingtons, so I was happy to make them.

I found the genoise cake base to be a but denser than the lamingtons I am used to, but still good to eat.

I ended up having to make extra icing to get all 16 lamingtons covered.

It’s National Lamington Day on 21 July, so this was a timely recipe.

TWD - Cheddar-Scallion Scones

 This week’s Tuesday with Dorie recipe is Cheddar-Scallion Scones. These scones are flavoured with cheddar, scallions, mustard powder and paprika.

They are the perfect savoury scone, with plenty of zip from the spices, cheese and scallions.

I made one of my scones into a sandwich with tomato kasundi, spinach, beetroot, silverside and a fried egg. It made a delicious lunch.
