Back in October 2021, we began baking our way through Baking with Dorie: Sweet, Salty & Simple by Dorie Greenspan. I’ve done this several books over now, and those first few months with a new one are a bit daunting, knowing that you’ll spend years making all the recipes, but maybe not quite comprehending how many years or how many recipes. Fast forward to today, almost exactly five years and over a hundred recipes later, and we’re closing the book with this Lisbon Chocolate Cake.
This cake has been tempting me from day one, as it’s the book’s cover girl. It’s Dorie’s recreation of a cake she had at Landeau Chocolate in Lisbon. I do love a rich chocolate cake, and this one, with a chocolate trifecta, doesn’t disappoint. It has a fudgy brownie-ish cake base, a creamy mousse-like whipped ganache topping and a heavy-handed dusting of cocoa powder (enough to make you cough) to finish. It’s easy enough to make and definitely fancy enough for a farewell party.
Sticking with this every (other) week is a real effort, but it’s a fun one, doing it as a group. Don’t forget to check out the rest of the TWD Blogroll to see all our last bakes from this book. Baking with Dorie: Sweet, Salty & Simple moves from my kitchen table to my bookshelf, but we bake on with Dorie’s Anytime Cakes.
