STRAWBERRY LEMON BLONDIES - CAKE COOKING RECIPES IDEAS

STRAWBERRY LEMON BLONDIES

There’s nothing dry or crumbly about them, they melt in the mouth like a great blondie should.  Only instead of nuts and chocolate you’ve got juicy strawberries and tart lemon.  Wow.

Blondies are an art form here at tvfgi, and there’s a special place in my heart for unique recipes like my Banana Blondies with their killer caramel frosting, or my Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Blondies.  But sometimes you just need a little chocolate, am I right?  In that case head straight for my Outrageous Chocolate Hazelnut Blondies or the insane Almond Butter Skillet Blondies.


Ingredients
blondies
1 cup 2 sticks or 228 grams, unsalted butter, at room temperature
3/4 cup or 164 grams, granulated sugar
1 large egg
1/4 cup or 55 grams, fresh squeezed lemon juice
2 1/4 cups or 306 gram, all purpose flour (use the fluff/scoop/level method for measuring)
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup or 127 grams, diced fresh strawberries
glaze
1 cup or 112 grams, unsifted weight powdered sugar, sifted
1 Tbsp strawberry puree you'll need about 2 large strawberries, instructions below
lemon juice about 1 Tbsp, or just enough to thin the glaze to a spreadable consistency

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350F
Line a 9 inch square baking pan with parchment paper with long edges. This will help you lift out the blondies for easy glazing and slicing later.
Cream the butter and sugar until fluffy. Beat in the egg.
When the egg is full incorporated, beat in the lemon juice. The lemon juice will probably not completely incorporate at this point, that's ok.
Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt, and add to the wet ingredients, mixing until no more dry flour is present.
Gently fold in the diced strawberries. Spread the mixture into your pan and spread out as evenly as possible.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, just until starting to turn golden around the edges and the center is set. A toothpick inserted in the center will be moist but not wet. Don't over-bake these, or they will dry out. Let cool on a rack.
Trim the strawberries for the glaze and puree in a small food processor. Strain the puree through a small strainer to get 1 Tbsp of puree. Whisk together the sugar, puree, and lemon juice until no lumps remain. If your glaze is too thin, add a touch more sugar. If it's too thick, add more lemon juice.
Spread the glaze over the cooled blondies. Let the glaze set before slicing.
