The Flavors
My husband loves brownies and believes that a cake can only be improved by being dense and gooey. So I thought I would use blondies as the base, chocolate being to dark for the light lavender and lemon flavors.
I will say though that my husband was very upset that blondies had anything to do with brownies as he believed double chocolate is needed to be even compared to brownies.
I decided to use browned butter to add some low notes to even out the lavender and lemon high notes.
