How to Make Easy Pastel Easter Cake

Step 1: Prep and Mix the Wet Ingredients

Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a 9×13 pan with parchment paper. Using your mixer, combine softened butter, sugar, brown sugar, eggs, egg yolks, and vanilla. Mix until creamy and smooth.

Step 2: Add Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until a dough forms. Don’t overmix—just combine until smooth.

Step 3: Bake Until Golden

Press your dough evenly into the prepared pan and bake for 35-45 minutes until golden around the edges. The center should be set but still soft. Allow your blondies to cool completely.

Step 4: Prepare the Frosting

In your standing mixer, beat butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, and heavy cream until fluffy and creamy, holding nice peaks.

Step 5: Decorate and Serve

Fill your piping bag fitted with a large star tip and pipe beautiful zigzag lines of frosting over your cooled blondies. Sprinkle generously with Easter sprinkles, and let the frosting set slightly before slicing and enjoying.

Pro Tips for Making the Recipe

Don’t Overbake: Check blondies at around 30 minutes to ensure they stay chewy and tender. Remember, a slightly underdone blondie tastes better than a dry one.
Chill Before Cutting: For cleaner cuts, chill the bars briefly after frosting to firm them up.
Softened Butter Matters: Make sure your butter is room temperature for both the blondies and frosting to get the perfect creamy texture.

How to Serve

These blondies are wonderful served at room temperature. Pair them with coffee, tea, or a tall glass of cold milk. If you want to get fancy, serve each blondie warmed slightly and topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a decadent dessert. They’re perfect as a sweet ending to Easter dinner or as festive treats for spring parties.

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

Keep blondies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerated for up to 1 week.

Freezing

Freeze the unfrosted blondies wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and foil for up to 3 months. Defrost overnight in the fridge and frost just before serving.

Reheating

Enjoy blondies at room temperature or briefly warm them in the microwave for 10-15 seconds if desired.
