TWD: Caramel-Peanut Topped Brownie Cake



This is the first Tuesdays with Dorie recipe that earned me a "You're a superstar" from my husband! Not bad for it being the fourth TWD recipe I've made.

I made a couple of changes to Dorie's recipe. First, I split it in half. Second, I used semi-sweet chocolate instead of bittersweet. I don't like the taste of bittersweet and in the back of Dorie's book, she says the two can be used interchangeably. I don't think either change had any impact on the recipe. Although, I didn't bake my cake for as long as she directed.

This was also the first time I've made caramel. I was beginning to think it wouldn't turn the deep amber color she said it would, but it did very quickly. So, keep your eye on it!

  10. Your cake is lovely! You were wise not to bake it the full amount of time -- mine came out dry. And congratulations on the caramel!
