by on May 6, 2011 in leave your link

Happy Birthday to me! I am officially in my mid-30′s now. Ugh. It went by so fast!

I am so excited to see all your lovely cakes. Nothing better than spending the morning drinking coffee and browsing food blogs.

    NO WAY!!! I’m actually first this week? wow!

    yesterday was all about the bees … and sharing this cake with my fellow beekeepers … (not to mention, this cake kicks serious butt when you substitute honey for the sugar)

      I couldn’t leave a comment on your site so I’ll do it here. I drizzled my tourteau with honey, but I should’ve used it as a sweetener too, like you did. And btw, it’s totally awesome that you’re going to beekeeping class! I’ve always wanted to do that too, and hopefully will…soon ;-).

    • anderlani1 May 6, 2011 at 3:25 AM #

      Oooh, love the idea of substituting honey for sugar! Sounds tasty. Good job on taking a beekeeping class today instead of someday. Very cool!

    • kudoskitchen May 8, 2011 at 10:00 AM #

      What an awesome post! I love how you said your fellow bee keeping students *swarmed* all over your completed cake! Bee keepers humor no doubt :)

    Love everything about this recipe. So much so that I cannot bear to keep this cake around me! Served with candied kumquats.

    Happy birthday to you! Hope you’ll have a fab run to your 40s (when you’ll have an even better time! I know, I’m already there). Enjoy this tourteau, I served mine up with figs, sesame and thyme.

    Unfortunately I was not able to complete mine on time for a true French Friday – I had the busiest, most stressful week at work (fiscal year end, among other complications) but thankfully it is almost OVER. Hugs to all the mother’s out there celebrating this weekend, and to all the kids who miss theirs.

    Now whose ideas should I borrow with dignity when I actually get around making this one? ;-)

  8. mardi@eatlivetravelwrite May 6, 2011 at 1:48 AM #

    This is an absolutely stunning dessert :)

    Here’s mine…I think I’ve got the correct week now (accidentally had posted it LAST Friday, took it down when I realized the error…spent quality time slapping my forehead in disgust….)

    I liked this one, its taste and texture were unexpected.

    Happy Birthday Laurie! And Happy Mother’s Day to everyone.

    Hi, the cake is fabulous and it was all gone in one night. Friends love it!

    I have a question though. We are told to look out for a dark brown top to suggest that it is baked. For mine, it didn’t really turn down brown even though I put in another 30 minutes of baking at 350F. What is going on?

  16. anderlani1 May 6, 2011 at 3:02 AM #

    I LOVED this cake. It was the highlight of my cooking week. After finishing off half the cake in two days, I had to send the remainder to work with my husband to prevent myself from rolling around in the rest.

    Time got away from me this week and I wasn’t able to try this recipe. Boo. I’m looking forward to checking on everyone else’s completed masterpieces and see what I missed out on. I do have the ingredients on hand so I hope to get to it soon.
    BTW Happy Birthday Laurie! Hope it’s a great one for you!

    I’ll be posting a few days late this week…saving this for a party tomorrow night or for Mother’s Day, but I have some cute sea lions and seal photos on my blog now from a morning photo shoot at La Jolla Cove ;-) Have a great weekend!

  37. Diethood May 6, 2011 at 8:18 AM #

    I am calling this, “My delicious OOPS!”… it didn’t quite look like Dorie’s, but it was seriously delicious! Especially with that bottle of Australian Chardonnay! :)

    Just dropping by to say how much I’ve missed participating the last few weeks! Was traveling and then came down with the crud for the last week which really set me back. This looks so good that I might try to rally for a late entry – I sure would love to eat this for Mother’s Day! Will try to get around to check out your wonderful creations. Already saw the idea for honey and love it. Honey tastes so wonderful with chevre – fantastic revision. Happy Mother’s Day to all. And a Happy Birthday to our YOUNG wonderful and fearless leader. Mid-30s? I hardly even remember them. JEALOUS!

    This tourteau sounds sublime; I too have been traveling (clear, chilly Col. weather!); but will definitely catch up in my Dorie recipes as they are always deeelicious & such fun to prepare. And how I enjoy all my FFWD friends!

  55. SisBoom May 10, 2011 at 7:32 PM #

    Better late than never:

    And really, thank goodness it wasn’t ‘never’. This was fantastic.

    • KarenP May 11, 2011 at 8:23 AM #

      I know! I almost didn’t make this one and I’m so glad I did.

  56. Toni May 14, 2011 at 8:18 AM #

    I made this beautiful cake early yesterday morning. It was quite a pleasure to make and to see cooking. The cake turned out perfectly. I took it to a dinner gathering with friends and received warm reviews. (served it with Dorie’s warm caramel sauce mixed with a little espresso powder, yum) We all agreed we would like to enjoy this on its own with a glass of wine or a cup of coffee so it doesn’t have to compete with other big flavors.

  57. Space and Thyme May 16, 2011 at 7:08 PM #

    ok…totally late, but I got it done. :)

  58. Jacquelyn May 23, 2011 at 7:51 AM #

    My days finally settled enough for me to catch up on an AMFT recipe-gave a dinner party yesterday & served the Tourteau as an alternate dessert choice- it was a huge hit & much praised & requests for How?? I used the orange flower water & it lent a delicious flavor! Yum, yum!!
