Yesterday was my Grandma’s 85th birthday. She’s a total rock star.

We had a party for her a few weekends ago at a park in the area. She has six kids, and they all have kids, and there’s even one great-grandkid so even “immediate family” get togethers turn into pretty big ordeals. We do our parties potluck style so that no one gets stuck trying to feed the whole crowd.

I was asked to bring a dessert. I decided on these because my coworker, Dawn, had brought them to the office for my birthday and they were a big hit. Dawn used a neat brownie pan that made all blondies have nice edges. I didn’t have such a cool pan so I used a cupcake tin. It worked well, but if you’re going to do it this way, make sure to grease it well!

Cake Batter Blondies
(from Girl Meets Life)
Makes 12

1 box funfetti cake mix
1/4 c. rainbow sprinkles
1/4 c. vegetable oil
1 egg, beaten
1/2 c. milk
1/2 c. white chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350F degrees. Grease an 8×8 pan or cupcake tin.

Mix together cake mix and rainbow sprinkles in a large bowl. Stir in oil and egg. Stir in milk slowly, until the batter is thick like cookie dough. It’s okay if you don’t use all 1/2 cup of the milk. Fold in white chocolate chips.

If you’re using an 8×8 pan, bake for 25 minutes or until the edges are just golden brown.  If using a cupcake tin, your baking time will be closer to 10 minutes.

Let cool for at least 20 minutes after removing from the oven before slicing.
