Fudge Blondies

These blondies are a distant cousin to brownies.  They have the same fudgy texture without the chocolate.

On this occasion I decided to add small fudge pieces to the batter but they are equally as nice with white chocolate chips. blueberries, raspberries or anything else you like!

First I melted together butter and light brown sugar, stirring until they were completely combined.

Then I beat in eggs making sure that the butter and sugar had cooled slightly so the egg didn’t cook in the mixture.

Then I stirred in some plain flour, baking powder and mini fudge pieces.

The finished batter was poured into a lined tin and the surface smoothed.

It was baked until golden on the outside and cooked through – I tested this by poking a skewer into the middle of the cake – if it comes out clean the cake is cooked.

Once it had cooled I cut the blondies into squares (and ate one before I put them in the tin!).
