What are you baking? March 2025

I baked lemon blondies / brownies today from the recipe @adawks had shared upthread.

I’m a bit surprised at the quantity – I switched the 8x8 pan suggested to a 7x11 pan, and it looks like a LOT! Anyway, they are for taking to friend’s tomorrow so their kids can go through them expediently, I’m sure (especially as she requested citrus over chocolate).

I haven’t cut into them, I’ll wait till the glaze sets. And maybe one day I will learn to glaze properly. Today was not that day.

Tweaks: I added 2 tbsp of lemon juice because it’s weird to make a lemon recipe only with essence. I used 1/4 cup oil instead of all butter as it helps cakes stay moist after a few days, so let’s see if the same holds here. And I added some white chocolate chips to the batter at the end, because I had a packet open so why not.

I’m a bit suspicious that they may have over baked a bit even though I stopped 2 mins short of the lower end of the time range. Fingers crossed they’re good when I taste them in the morning, otherwise I will have to bake something else!

ETA: A bit overbaked, as I suspected, but still delicious.
