Baking with Dorie: Pierre Hermé’s Fruit and Spice Loaf Cake

Hi, Dorie. I recently purchased your book "Desserts by Pierre Herme" and was curious to see if there were any differences between the 2 versions of the same recipe. I noticed that there is only 1/4 cup plus 2 tbsp water in this new version, while there is 3/4 cup plus 2 tbsp water in the book version. Which version do you prefer or is one of them simply a typo? I am waiting to see what you recommend before attempting either. I have had great success with all you recipes in all your other books- especially the Chocolate & Lemon caramels from "Chocolate Desserts by Pierre Herme"! Thanks again.

Hi Dorie!
I love your work, as always.
Question for you though.
I made the cake above and while I was making it thought "wow, where are the eggs" but persevered.
The result was beautifully fragrant but I think it was missing the eggs.
Am I right?
All the best to you!
Ted

Carpecookie -- of dear, you're right! This is a typo. It should be 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons water . Thank you for finding this and I AM REALLY SORRY.

Eliz - I'm so glad you're enjoying my Baking book! As for leaving out the dried fruit in the spice loaf, I think you'll be just fine.
