Surefire Perfect Weekend Dessert

Step 2: Mix It Up

In a mixing bowl, combine melted butter and sugars. Add eggs and vanilla, then stir until smooth. Mix in flour, baking powder, and salt until just combined. Fold in any extras like chocolate chips or fruit.

Step 3: Bake

Pour the batter into the prepared dish and spread evenly. Bake for 25–35 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick comes out mostly clean (a little gooey is okay if you like it fudgy!).

Step 4: Cool & Serve

Let cool for 10–15 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with a scoop of ice cream or a drizzle of sauce—or both!

Tips to Make It Even Better

• Make It Seasonal: Add apples and cinnamon in fall, fresh berries in summer.
• Keep It Simple: Skip the extras and let the buttery, vanilla-rich base shine.
• Double It: Feeding a crowd? Double the recipe and use a 9×13 pan.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the fridge for up to 5 days. You can even freeze portions for a rainy-day treat.

Whether you’re sharing with friends or savoring a quiet night in, this Surefire Perfect Weekend Dessert is exactly what it promises: simple, satisfying, and always successful. Try it once, and you’ll find yourself coming back to this sweet staple weekend after weekend.
