Berry blondie recipe

This berry blondie recipe is a cake blondie with a fluffy texture from whipped butter. They’re super moist with a fudgy cake-like texture similar to butter cake or cake pops. 

Ingredients

• Unsalted butter
• Granulated sugar
• Confectioners powdered sugar – for the blackberry glaze.
• Large eggs
• Fresh squeezed lime juice – if you find this lime bar recipe is too tart or too full of fresh lime flavor then you can reduce it by up to a ⅓ cup, substituting the omitted amount for dairy milk or alternative milk of your choice.
• All purpose flour
• Baking powder
• Fine salt
• Fresh blackberries – divided into 1 cup and ¼ cup portions for the batter and the glaze.

Step by step instructions

1. Beat butter and granulated sugar until fluffy.
2. Add the eggs, one at a time, fully incorporating after each addition.
3. And beat in lime juice, reserving a little for the glaze.
4. Whisk flour, baking powder and salt and carefully mix into lime juice batter just until combined.
5. Then gently fold in the blackberries.
6. Spread Blackberry Lime Blondie batter in 9 inch square baking dish lined with parchment paper, or greased lightly with butter.
7. Bake 30-35 minutes, in a preheated 350 degree oven until cooked through.
8. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely, about 1 hour. 
9. Meanwhile, prepare Blackberry Lime Glaze. In a small microwave safe bowl heat blackberries until they release juices, about a minute on low power.

Add powdered sugar to a medium bowl and whisk in blackberry juice mixture a couple tablespoons at a time until the glaze reaches pouring consistency.

11. Then slice, serve and enjoy!

How to serve

Or use Blackberry Lime Blondies as a base for a delicious ice cream sundae. The berry blondies are delicious with coconut ice cream and blackberry syrup!
