Super listening. But...what is the recipe for Pierre Hermes's milk chocolate cake!

Dorie Greenspan's avatar

Marsha, the recipe is called Plaisir Sucré. The recipe is in Desserts by Pierre Hermé. I've seen online recipes, but I've never made them, so I can't tell you if work or not.

Thank you both, this was such fun! I have 2 loaf pans bought at Dehillerin and I love the longer narrower shape.

David, Thank you for having a conversation with Dorie. Part of my heritage is Greek, so I’m interested in the Orange Cake. I have « Baking with Dorie » because I saw her on a show and she made ‘World Peace Cookies’ which are quite good!!!!! I’m looking forward to your book which I’ve pre-ordered!!!!

Marianne, I hope you'll love the cake when you get a chance to make it -

Thank you for such a fun interview! I used Dorie’s Paris Sweets as my guidebook during my 2006 trip to Paris. I love the King Arthur tea cake pan as well—perfect slice sizes for entertaining! Always great to hear two pastry chefs talking pan sizes, weighing, metric measurements, and different flavor combinations—music to my non-professional ears!

Am working on getting people to switch to those loaf pans. They bake so much nicer and cakes come out moister. We'll see!

Great to listen to my 2 fav baking substack authors talking together!! I might say my Only baking substack authors since I discontinued my other ones..too boring...you 2 are never boring and I always learn something. Cheers, Kate

This is the very first podcast I’ve ever listened to! (Yes, I’m behind the times.) Loved it. I was jealous as you were tasting ;)

David Lebovitz's avatar

Was nice to her to arrive with treats!

This was so much fun to listen to, thank you! I enjoyed the references to cake pan sizes being different, the shout out for Sara Lee Pound Cake and even a nice nod to Jackson Browne. But mostly, I am so with you guys on using metrics in the kitchen. It needs to become the norm. Everywhere. Please, start the campaign!
