Oh yeah – it’s that time of the week again!  It’s Tuesday and I’m baking with Dorie!  Here in Argentina, there’s a tradition of eating fruitcakes – called “Pan Dulce” and some can be downright offensively too sweet. I really liked this recipe from Dorie Greenspan.  It was chosen by Yolanda of All-Purpose Girl – and she has graciously posted the recipe on her site as well.

I think a lot of participants from TWD had some problems making this cake.  There were problems rising – but it seemed like the most patient of these people really managed to produce a lovely cakebread.  I think that even though this is more of a winter dish, it lent itself to being baked here in this tropical climate – the dough had no problem rising, but then again, I didn’t have to search for a place to put the dough to rise – my whole house is warm, warm, warm.

Biting into it was like biting into a beautifully large croissant – that was also made of brioche. Yummmyyyy!

Sorry that this is such a short post, but it’s hot here – the kitchen is hot, and I just finished baking merleusa and potatoes. It was great, but now I’m all sweaty and want to hit the shower.. uuufff!

almost all gone…
