Venezuelan Cane Sugar Blondies or Cortado
Made with panela (raw cane sugar), warm spices, and just a few pantry staples, this soft, spiced treat sits somewhere between a cookie and a cake. Think gingerbread meets blondie… but Latin. This dessert comes from Afro-Venezuelan traditions, and you’re more likely to find it in street vendors or Abuela’s kitchen. Some variations include coconut, others enrich it with eggs and butter, but this version keeps it simple and flavourful. It’s rich, deeply caramelised, and ridiculously easy to make, no fancy tools, no butter, no mixer. Just stir, bake, and taste a piece of real Venezuelan flavour. This is Cortado.
