banana and toffee blondies

03:22 Posted In , , Edit This 0 Comments »



Again a twist on the original brownies using white chocolate instead, adding two bananas and some toffee. Any banoffee fans will love it. The white chocolate gave the cake a lightness it would not have had otherwise, contrasting to the heavy counterparts- the dominant banana taste with the moistness it adds and the sweetness of the toffee.
This is one upturned- just look at those bananas



and look at this toffee

Now these were a personal favourite, the brown sugar added a caramel type taste and soft texture that i had previously dreamt of having. the chocolate chunks were to die for. it was very cakey. all of which i found very satisfying.

Blueberries are a favourite in my family so for a bit of a family reunion i felt some baking with the interesting fruit was a must.
My muffins are still very much a work in progress in terms of appearance - sometimes they do not reach mountanious proportions. Topped with some vanilla sugared blueberries they were a refreshing treat.

I have been complimented that these cakes are a work of art and I must boast that i was garnishing with a pretentious flick of my wrist as if i had a paintbrush in my hand, standing back to admire my masterpiece i felt very creative.



The chocolate cakes were relatively light ass i used milk chocolate as opposed to dark, topping with melted chocolate and then organic cherries.

vanilla cupcakes topped with cheesecake frosting and crumbled brownies

These were a self inspired jewel of a cupcake adorned with some muddy coloured gems of their own. Having made a plain vanilla cake mix, I wanted to spice the cakes up a bit so added a mess of crumbled left over homemade brownies- the result- mouth watering.

The lightness of the cake contrasted by the highly rich topping was fantastic and i love the photo capturing the almost red tint in the brownies

blondies

As a white chocolate lover, i cant bake some rich dark chocolate brownies without accompanying with its somewhat paler counterpart- the blondie.
So much lighter than the traditional brownie, they are a refreshing change and popular with children.

My mother referred me to a wonderful chocolate brownie cake recipe that makes the most delicious brownies. These go down a treat, in fact they barely last a minute once baked, however if the brownie fans can wait it is well worth it as when over a day old the outside is that bit crumblier and the inside dense and moist and best appreciated in this state.
