Double Apple Bundt Cake (TWD)
We’re finally experiencing a break in the sweltering heat in Los Angeles – in October! We’re trading 100+ temperatures for some hot, humid days, and supposedly we’ll finally have autumn weather this coming week. No matter what the weather is outside, I’m in a fall baking state of mind and this week’s Tuesdays With Dorie recipe for Double Apple Bundt Cake is the perfect way kick off the season. Our hostess for the week is Lynne of Honey Muffin, and you can head over to her blog for the complete recipe.
Brooklyn Blackout Cake — and a Giveaway!
Welcome to the new home for A Tender Crumb! After two and a half years, my blog was need of a makeover and I was super excited to go with the flow and make the change. Along with the blog facelift was a transition to WordPress and my own domain name. I hope you like what you see — I especially love the Recipe Index and search functionality!

Crunchy and Custardy Peach Tart (TWD)
This week’s Tuesdays With Dorie recipe is Crunchy and Custardy Peach Tart. I’m wrestling with serious writer’s block, so you will have to excuse me as I’m going to keep this post simple and let the photos do most of the talking.
Zucchini, Carrot, and Cranberry Muffins
I purchased The SoNo Baking Company Cookbook eons ago, and it has sadly been collecting dust on my bookshelf until now. John Barricelli is one heckuva pastry chef, and I totally admire his accomplishments. With Martha Stewart complementing and backing his talents, you know that he is a pastry rock star.
Yes, I fantasize about opening a bakery like his…
Fresh Fig Muffins
When my husband and I purchased our home way back when, we were particularly thrilled that our backyard had a variety of fruit trees growing: orange, grapefruit, lemon, peach and fig.
During the summers, we would gorge ourselves silly with the bounty of peaches and figs that we harvested from our postage stamp sized backyard. I didn’t do a lot of cooking and baking back then, so most of the fruit was eaten fresh, and what we didn’t eat were shared with family and friends.
Oatmeal Breakfast Bread (TWD)
Things have a bit hazy for me this past week, as I’ve been fighting a nasty respiratory infection. Feeling under the weather + medication + hot summer weather = yuck!
Under normal circumstances, this week’s Tuesdays With Dorie recipe for Oatmeal Breakfast Bread would be a cinch to prepare. However, in my medicated state I was a complete ding dong and left out the most important ingredient – oats. Hello, it’s in the recipe title for goodness sake!
Chocolate Ganache Ice Cream (TWD)
When we’re talking about chocolate ice cream, my husband is the connoiseur in our house. He’s a less is more kinda guy, and believes that “all that unnecessary stuff” (i.e. nuts, chocolate chips, etc) gets in the way of enjoying really great chocolate ice cream. In most instances I do agree with him, but there are times when nothing else satisfies me like a double scoop of Rocky Road in a waffle cone!
Gingered Carrot Cookies (TWD)
I need to up my blogging game. I’ve been baking and photographing, but am totally behind on getting all of my posts up. Sure, I have lame excuses for my procrastination, but I won’t bore you with the details…at least for today.
