Triple TWD!

  Did you ever think you'd see my return to TWD?  I've been baking, I just haven't been posting- lack of camera, you understand.  But, today, I'm fully prepared with a triple Dorie recap!

This week's pick: 

Milk Chocolate Mini Bundt Cakes, chosen by Kristen of I'm Right About Everything.

 

I didn't actually have a mini bundt pan, and I lent my full sized bundt pan to a friend, so I ended up making mini round cakes.  The recipe was fairly simple, and luckily I had milk chocolate on hand.  Unfortunately, I wasn't too pleased with the results.  The cake was too crumbly for me- it definitely needed the chocolate glaze to rescue it.  Maybe it would have been better as an actual bundt, but it wasn't a hit for me.

 Last Week's Pick:

Cocoa-Nana Bread, chosen by Steph of Obsessed With Baking

I was excited about this bread- I love bananas and I love chocolate.  But, this recipe was also a disappointment for me.  I baked mini-loaves and they came out crumbly and dry.  I read other posts and it seemed to be a common problem.. what a bummer!  Maybe an extra banana would have done the trick.  

Two Weeks Ago:

Chocolate Oatmeal Almost Candy Bars, chosen by Lillian of Confectiona's Realm

These were, BY FAR, my favorite treat of the bunch.  I was so glad that I made these!  I really enjoyed the chocolate layer and the oat mixture.. so basically, the whole thing.  I will definitely make these again, probably with more of the crumb mixture on the bottom- so good!
