Chocolate Chip Cake Mix Blondies
If you’re looking for a quick dessert that tastes homemade but requires minimal effort, these Chocolate Chip Cake Mix Blondies are the perfect solution. They are soft, chewy, buttery, and loaded with sweet chocolate flavor.
Using a box of cake mix makes this recipe incredibly simple. The cake mix already contains the dry ingredients, so you only need a few additional items to create a rich blondie batter in minutes.
To make these blondies even more fun and visually appealing, chocolate chips added to the batter. The chocolate chips provide melty pockets of chocolate.
Ingredients
• 1 box vanilla cake mix
• 2 large eggs
• 1/3 cup vegetable oil or melted butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla flavoring extract
• ½ cup chocolate chips
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven
Preheat your oven to 175°C / 350°F. Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the batter
In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs, oil, and vanilla flavoring extract. Mix until a thick batter forms.
3. Add the chocolate
Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
4. Spread into the pan
Transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly using a spatula.
5. Bake
Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the center is set.
Be careful not to overbake, as this can make the blondies dry.
6. Cool and slice
Allow the blondies to cool in the pan for about 20 minutes before cutting them into squares.
Serve and enjoy!
Tips for Perfect Blondies
• Use parchment paper
This makes removing the blondies from the pan much easier.
• Don’t overbake
Blondies should stay slightly soft in the center for the best chewy texture.
• Let them cool before slicing
This helps the blondies hold their shape and prevents crumbling.
• Add extra toppings
You can sprinkle more chocolate jimmies or chocolate chips on top before baking for a prettier finish.
