Cake Batter Blondies – a Celebration!

Perfect for any celebration, these sprinkle filled blondies are not only tasty, but only take minutes to throw together!


Cake Batter Blondies | www.tasteandtellblog.com

5 years.

I can’t believe it. 5 years ago today, I pushed publish on my very first blog post on this blog. I definitely wasn’t the first food blogger back then, but wow – I can’t believe how much food blogging has grown since then. If you would have told me 5 years ago where this blog would take me, I probably would have laughed. It’s been a wild ride, but boy – has it been fun!!

I’ve been thinking about this day a lot lately. What to write. What to say. About how much this little corner of the internet that I call my own has changed me, and how much it means to me. Today, I am feeling so grateful that I get to do this every day. That this is my job.

MY LATEST RECIPES

And how grateful I am for all of you. I do this because I love to share. And I love that you are all here to listen. Your emails, your comments, you visits, your pins – they all mean so much to me. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I really do wish I could give each and every one of you a hug. Because you really do mean the world to me.

Today is a day to celebrate. And of course, since this is a food blog and all, we are celebrating with food! Since I am on a major streak of horrible cakes, I decided to do the exact opposite and go completely simple. It’s my blog birthday, afterall, and I’d rather be celebrating with you all than spending hours in the kitchen. And it doesn’t get much more simple than this recipe. Or addictive. Make sure you have someone to celebrate with when you make these – otherwise, you may find yourself snagging “just one more piece” every time you walk by the kitchen!!

Description

Perfect for any celebration, these sprinkle filled blondies are not only tasty, but only take minutes to throw together!


Ingredients

  • 1 box yellow cake mix
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup rainbow sprinkles
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350F. Spray an 8×8 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the cake mix, oil, egg and milk. Mix in the sprinkles and the chocolate chips. (The batter will be pretty stiff.)
  3. Place the batter into the prepared dish. (Press down with your hands if needed to even out.) Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes.
  4. Let cool for 20 minutes, then slice and serve.

Great giveaway…my favorite cookbook is Momofuku Milk Bar cookbook that we have been baking through. It’s challenging but produces great results each time with unique recipes and ingredients.

    I am a sucker for anything blondie. Not being a huge fan of chocolate (which I dread mentioning whenever I work up the nerve to), I can’t always go the brownie route. Blondies fill that soft, chewy and sweet hole that nothing else can quite replace. And it’s become a bit of an obsession – I’ve made versions for Halloween, Nutella Day, Thanksgiving…I think it’s now officially a problem. A yummy, crazy problem. 🙂 I’m definitely bookmarking these to make for my coworkers for some reason or another 🙂

I’m really hoping I can win the cook books cuz I absolutely love baking and cooking, and being a single mother I usually never have money to buy any cookbooks!! I always have to write the recipes I like and see online, which is very time consuming, especially when u have a child with disabilities like I DO!!! SO wish me luck!! And thank you very much for this opportunity I really appreciate IT more than you know!! Thanks again!! God bless you!!! 🙂

I have an addiction that I suspect we all share, I’m addicting to making and trying new foods so I really enjoy your blog and living in the 21st century where things like this can exist yet I totally love good old-fashioned hand me down type of recipes.

    Hello!

    This is a really easy and awesome recipe, and I’d love to try it out. However, I can’t find yellow cake mix anywhere 🙁 I was wondering if it would work with lemon cake mix. And if so, what quantity in grams will be required?

    Cheers 🙂

      November 20, 2012 at 2:32 pm

      @Sayoni, I’m sure it will work with lemon cake mix, but the taste will be different. I think that a standard cake mix here is 15.25 oz, so you would just need to convert that into grams, I believe.
