Chocolate cake? The first thought that comes to mind is a brownie. This treat has gained extraordinary popularity worldwide, and everyone seems to master baking it. It has a strong chocolate aroma and a pleasantly moist texture. Riding this wave of success, the blondie cake was created.
American concept
The blondie isn't as famous as the brownie yet. However, these cakes are remarkably similar. The main difference is that white chocolate is used instead of dark chocolate. There's no denying it, this dessert will particularly appeal to those who love very sweet bakes with a delicate chocolate hint. Such bakes are popular in the our country, where the concept of the blondie originated, just like the brownie.
Chocolate, but..
The main secret of a blondie is white chocolate. Its use gives the cake a unique taste and aroma. Recipes often include additions like nuts or fruits. Some recipes also feature a hint of vanilla, which further highlights the taste of white chocolate. A popular addition is peanut butter, and this is the recipe I propose to you today.
Blondie will be lighter
American-style chocolate cakes are known for their characteristic heavy and moist texture. Some say they resemble a soggy bottom cake. To prevent the blondie from being too moist and to achieve the right texture, it's important to follow the recipe closely and measure the ingredients precisely. What else differentiates a blondie from a brownie? The addition of baking powder to the blondie makes the cake lighter.
