Discover the sweet allure of blondie: A lighter twist on chocolate classics

Chocolate cake? The first thought is a brownie. This bake has gained extraordinary popularity worldwide. Everyone manages to bake it. It has a strong chocolate aroma and is pleasantly moist. And it is precisely on the wave of this success that the blondie cake was created.

Blondie is not yet as famous as the brownie. However, these cakes are remarkably similar. Only here, instead of dark chocolate, white chocolate is used. There's no denying it; this dessert will particularly appeal to those who like very sweet bakes with a delicate chocolate hint. Such bakes are popular in the United States, and that's where the concept of blondie originated, just like the brownie.

The main secret of blondie is white chocolate. Its use gives it a unique taste and aroma. Recipes often include additions like nuts or fruits. In some recipes, you can also find a hint of vanilla, which further highlights the taste of white chocolate. A popular practice is also adding peanut butter. And this is the recipe I propose to you today.

American-style chocolate cakes have a characteristic, quite heavy and moist texture. Some say they resemble... a soggy bottom cake. To prevent the cake from being too moist and to have the right structure, you need to stick to the recipe and measure the ingredients precisely. What else differentiates blondie from brownie? The former includes baking powder. This makes the cake lighter.

Ingredients:

• 7 tablespoons butter,
• 200 grams white chocolate,
• 4 eggs,
• 3/4 cup fine sugar,
• 1 teaspoon vanilla sugar,
• 1 cup all-purpose flour,
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder,
• A pinch of cinnamon,
• A pinch of salt,
• 1/2 cup favourite nuts (optional),
• 1/2 cup peanut butter.

Instructions:

1. Melt the butter and add broken or chopped chocolate into small pieces. Let it melt completely. Mix thoroughly.
2. Lightly whisk the eggs with sugar and vanilla sugar.
3. Add cooled butter with chocolate to the eggs and mix the mass.
4. Add sifted flour with baking powder, cinnamon, and salt, and mix again.
5. Add chopped nuts to the mixture.
6. Pour the batter into a baking dish lined with parchment paper.
7. Make blobs of peanut butter on the cake's surface, then "draw" patterns with a knife or stick.
8. Bake the cake at 170 degrees Celsius for 25 to 30 minutes.
9. Cut the blondie only after cooling.
