List of Ingredients

CAKE:
1 cup flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/8 tsp. baking soda
1/8 tsp. salt
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/3 cup butter or margarine
1 cup brown sugar
1 beaten egg
1 tbsp. vanilla extract
1/2 cup white chocolate chips

SAUCE:
3 ounces maple syrup
1/4 cup butter
6 tbsp. brown sugar
8 ounces softened cream cheese
¼ - ½ tsp. maple flavoring



Recipe

Sift flour, add baking powder, baking soda & salt; sift again. Add chopped nuts, mix well and set aside. Melt butter, add brown sugar and mix well. Add egg and vanilla, blend well. Add flour mixture, a little at a time, mixing well. Stir in white chocolate chips.

Spread in a 9" square baking pan; bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean or with slightly fudgy-looking crumbs. Serve hot with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, sprinkled with more chopped walnuts and maple butter sauce drizzled over all.

Maple butter sauce:
Combine syrup and butter, cook over low heat until butter is melted. Stir in brown sugar until dissolved. Remove from heat and beat in cream cheese and maple extract until smooth. Reheat, either over low heat or in the microwave at short intervals to reach desired sauce consistency. Serve HOT over blondies topped with vanilla ice cream.
