Tuesdays with Dorie: Cinnamon Squares
June 2, 2009 at 2:17 am | Posted in cakes & tortes, groups, simple cakes, sweet things, tuesdays with dorie | 50 Comments
I’ve often wondered when Cinnamon Squares would have their fifteen minutes of TWD fame. Thanks to Tracey of Tracey’s Culinary Adventures, their time has come.
Chocolate, coffee, and, of course, heaps of cinnamon join forces here to form simple squares of cakey goodness. Add frosting, and it becomes simply outrageous. As an aside, why do I always accidentally stick my finger in frostings, and then notice only after I’ve taken pictures??
For the recipe, see Baking: From My Home to Yours by Dorie Greenspan, or read Tracey’s Culinary Adventures. Don’t forget to check out the TWD Blogroll!

Mmm those look so delicious, I’ve been meaning to try them!
And I didn’t even notice the finger-jab until you mentioned it. 🙂

They look sensational even with your little finger prints. Mmmm! Did you enjoy them?

This looks great. I just made key lime squares and noticed a dog hair in the pictures after I was done!

I’m glad this worked out for you! It did smell Heavenly, but something went wrong with mine. Amazingly, my ribbon didn’t sink LOL
Comment by Amanda— June 2, 2009 #
That looks delicious! Your ribbon didn’t sink nearly as much as mine did.

Looks like I missed a good one. Save me some.

were the squares soft and moist? i’m curious about their texture.
Comment by Amanda— June 2, 2009 #
Amanda- The recipe has a boat-load of butter, so they were nice and moist. Pretty much your typical “snack cake” kind of texture. They kept well for a couple of days (I did a half recipe in a loaf pan, so we didn’t have them around too long).

This looks like the perfect slice! We loved this one, and I loved that it was so easy to make.
Comment by Leslie— June 2, 2009 #
Now that is one mouth-water piece of cake! I absolutely loved this recipe.
Comment by Linda @ Tender Crumb— June 2, 2009 #
LOL I’m not sure I’ve even ever noticed that print in the frosting, before… but hey! Could become a trademark!
Your squares looks amazing, Steph.. just like in the book!

Your squares look wonderful! I love the swirls in your chocolate frosting–mine didn’t swirl well, but still tasted great. Beautiful!

I adore your picture. So pretty.
Comment by Kim— June 2, 2009 #
I didn’t even notice the fingerprint. I was too busy gawking at how swirly and shiny your frosting is. Great job!

Wow, those look fantastic!! Almost better than the book 🙂
Comment by Jacque— June 2, 2009 #
Your squares turned out beautifully! Mine – not so much. I love how you got your frosting to look like frosting and not a pile of goo! Well done!
Comment by Susan at Sticky,Gooey,Creamy,Chewy— June 2, 2009 #
Gorgeous…how did you get that frosting to look like that? The most fun this week is seeing everyone’s ribbon of chocolate inside the cake…yours is very nice. They are all different!
Comment by Kayte— June 2, 2009 #
PERFECT swirly frosting! AND that filling is the best (how it swirls down and around). Wow… that is one amazing photo! My frosting kept melting for some reason. Maybe it was from the 80 degree kitchen I was in! Looks absolutely wonderful!
Comment by mike— June 2, 2009 #
It looks great- I love how shiny the frosting turned out on this!
