The inspiration from this cake came from Tartine's pumpkin tea cake. I wanted to make a lighter, cake-ier cake, closer to a dessert you'd eat at a dinner party than to a quickbread you'd eat for breakfast. The frosting recipe is based on my idol Dorie Greenspan's Tangy Cream Cheese Frosting.
These White Chip Island Blondies are an amazing flavor combination of white chocolate, toasted coconut and chopped macadamia nuts. Ready in 45 minutes, these bars are a fun variation if you're tired of making the same old brownies. Great for all occasions.
