Anytime we can make a cake in a square pan I get very happy. Why? Because it means there is less to eat. I swear if I don't give away these treats it goes straight into my mouth.This week's recipe was chosen by Tracy of Tracy's Culinary Adventures. I always thought these little squares looked yummy by their delicious picture in the book.
My thoughts/experience:
* I used semi-sweet instead of bittersweet choc. I didn't have any bittersweet on hand.
*my chocolate sunk a bit
* the cake was extremely moist
* i loved that i got to mix it by hand. this always brings me joy and makes me feel like an old-fashioned baker of some sort.
* i replaced espresso powder with Pero, which i'm not sure was the best move.
* my family loved it. i brought it over to my parent's for Sunday dinner. dad loved the frosting.
Be sure to check out the other Tuesdays with Dorie bakers' blogs for more cinnamon squares.

My cake was really moist, too. I loved this recipe and really did some serious damage to it. That picture makes me wish I had more!
I'm with you I love when I mix by hand. Nicely Done!
Yours looks great! I love not having to unearth the mixer from its home in the pantry, and this one being super easy means I'll probably make it again. And again. And again.
Remember, mixing by hand is a cardio workout! You get an extra piece for doing that. Glad you enjoyed!
Thanks for baking with me this week! I always think mixing by hand is super fun too :) Your square looks terrific.
Loved the Cinnamon Squares! Soooo
delish!!! Also, nice picture of it and the blue and white placemat in the background adds a nice homey touch too!
Your Cinnamon Square looks pretty tasty! My family loved it too - it's a good thing it was a square pan too, no leftovers! Unfortunately...
