Low Calorie Blender Butter Cake
November 4, 2015 14 Comments
Every once in a while, I stumble upon a really good idea.

I featured blender brownies way back in 2014. I felt like I had found the secret to making tasty low calorie baked goods – beans.
Also, I loved using my blender instead of a mixer and a bowl. I can toss my blender in the dishwasher, it is easy to pour the batter into the pan, and it mixes super fast.
Someone commented that I should try blondies in the blender and I was all over it. The recipe below is was an attempt at blondies that had the consistency of cake – so I decided to call it cake.
I had my main taste-tester, my husband, try these and didn’t tell him about the beans. He typically wanders by when he smells something good from the oven.
He said, “Very buttery,” after tasting this cake and I cracked up. No cow was touched for this recipe.
Will this win the Julia Child award for best cake? Not gonna happen. Will you love it anyway? I say yes!
You will make this batter faster than your oven heats up!
