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.
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!!!!
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!
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 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!
Most bakeries unfortunately don't write down their recipes in sizes for home bakers, which is why people like Pierre Hermé and Julia Child relied on Dorie to do it for their books. It's too bad that bakery folded in the East Village, but a note to anybody who visits that website, don't click on the link to the bakery there. It takes you to a spammy page that froze my browser.
Merci for having Dorie on !
Another great chat. Very fun to listen to you both!
Super listening. But...what is the recipe for Pierre Hermes's milk chocolate cake!

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

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

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

Glad you like the chat and thanks for listening, and reading : )
Love the chat, wish it was longer.
Great Podcast, btw! Thanks
I adore her French Apple Cake, and have made it for years!!
Thanks - it's such a great cake, isn't it?
Ahhhh, found it 🤓
How does one find the chat?
This was delightful. Dorie is one of my culinary fairy godmothers.

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 ;)
Was nice to her to arrive with treats!

There used to be a bakery in the East Village called The Black Hound.
As far as I could tell, it was the apex of cake in all of recorded history.
I think they dissapeared around 2018 never having produced a book.
A loss to civilization.
Does anyone know who The Black Hound people were, and if they wrote down the science of their art?
