Author Notes: Cake donuts cut into bar form, with no special donut pan needed! —Erin McDowell
Makes: 8 large bars (plus some scraps)
Ingredients
For the donut bars:
-
1/2
cup butter, softened
-
1
cup sugar
-
2 1/4
cups all-purpose flour
-
2
teaspoons baking powder
-
3/4
teaspoon baking soda
-
1
pinch salt
-
2
eggs
-
1
egg yolk
-
1
cup buttermilk
-
1
teaspoon vanilla
-
2 1/2
cups blueberries
For the buttermilk glaze:
-
2
cups powdered sugar
-
3
tablespoons buttermilk
-
1/3
cup whole milk
Directions
- With a wooden spoon, beat the butter and sugar together in a large bowl until well-combined.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolk, buttermilk, and vanilla.
- Alternate adding the dry and wet ingredients to the butter mixture alternately, in 2 or 3 additions each. Mix until just combined.
- Fold in the blueberries. Pour the mixture into a lightly greased 9- by 9-inch cake pan, then bake in a 350° F oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 20 to 30 minutes. Cool completely, then cut into 8 bars.
- To make the glaze, whisk the powdered sugar, buttermilk, and milk together to combine. Make sure the glaze is runny. Add additional milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed.
- Place the bars on a wire rack and pour the glaze over top. Letit set completely before serving.
