Kids in the Kitchen Wednesday: Cake Batter Blondies

Have you noticed in the past few years cake batter has become 'the flavor'? It's the new cookie dough of the baking world. But it's understandable- there's something very comforting and delicious about the smell of vanilla cake batter. And if you add some sprinkles to it, it immediately becomes a more festive dessert.

We made a batch of delicious cake batter blondies for our weekly Baby Meals on Wheels service. This is the perfect dessert to make if you're looking for something unique, and you're short on time.

Recipe courtesy of http://sallysbakingaddiction.com/2012/04/06/take-2-funfetti-cake-batter-blondies/

1 box yellow cake mix
1/4 cup vegetable or canola oil
1 large egg
1/3 -1/2 cup milk (less is better)
1/2 cup sprinkles
1/2 cup white chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350F degrees.  Spray 11x7 baking pan with nonstick spray.

Combine first four ingredients in a large bowl.

 Add the milk slowly. You want to cake batter to be as dense & thick as possible.

Mix in the sprinkles and white chocolate chips. 

 Pour into prepared baking pan, sprinkle a few more sprinkles on top, and bake for 25-30 minutes until edges are just turning brown.

Allow to cool for at least 30 minutes so the center sets, before cutting into squares.

Notes from the Test Kitchen

This is the perfect recipe to have your little chefs help with- they can pour ingredients and stir until their little hearts are content. Plus- sprinkles!!!! What kid doesn't love sprinkles?

But don't worry, this recipe may be kid-friendly, but the end result is something adults will enjoy as well. It's entirely possible the Wisconsin Test Kitchen polished off half a pan of these blondies while they were still warm. They were delicious.

Hope you enjoy this yummy dessert as much as we did!
