There is the endless debate between fans of fudge-like brownies and cake-like brownies. This is the first time I’ve baked cake-like blondies, which make them pretty much cake. A delicious snack cake with a tight crumb, but nonetheless, still cake.
The recipe comes from the Martha Stewart Cookie of the Day email (another one!) for April 22. I baked as directed and after tasting it (again and again and again) I decided it is the perfect vehicle for other flavors. Maybe add some cinnamon to the batter or use a flavored cream cheese or make it boozy and add Frangelico or Kahlúa to the swirl. Since the blondies use simple ingredients that we tend to have on-hand and Paul thought they were great, I’ll make them again as to not break his heart. 😉

(For the record, I prefer fudge-like brownies but I have no problem eating cake-like brownies.)

Cake-y brownies are totally my thing so I’m definitely on board with cake-like blondies. And everything is better with cream cheese 🙂
I’ve never eaten any of them (fudge or cake like) but these surely look fantastic!!!
Oh a boost versionsounds great! I’m like you, love fudge brownies but I wont turn down a cakey brownie
These blondies look so good!
I think I like fudgy better than cakey, but the cream cheese swirl evens it out! YUM.
Fudge-like or cake-like, as long as it is a brownie 🙂 Maybe strawberry jam and cream cheese? Love the cream cheese swirls!
Those look incredible!
Wendy, these look perfect and, I agree, they seem like they’d take to other flavors very well!
Cheesecake + blondie = amazing!
