Ingredients

  • 200g unsalted butter, plus extra for greasing
  • 125g caster sugar
  • 125g light soft brown sugar
  • 300g white chocolate chips
  • 2 medium eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract​
  • 300g plain flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp fine salt
  • 3 tbsp raspberry jam (optional)
  • 150g pack raspberries, washed and dried

Cooking instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 170°C/150°C fan/Gas 3.5. Grease and line a 20cm square brownie or cake tin with baking paper.
  • Add the butter, caster sugar and half the white chocolate to a pan and melt over a gentle heat, stirring until the sugar has dissolved. Set aside to cool slightly.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, vanilla and light brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Combine the egg mixture with the chocolate mixture and stir until smooth.
  • Add the flour, baking powder and salt and fold together until smooth and glossy. Stir through the remaining chocolate.
  • Pour the mixture into the lined tin, then dollop your jam over the top and use a spoon to create swirls.
  • Top with the fresh raspberries, pushing them into the mixture.
  • Bake for 35 minutes for ultra-squidgy blondies, or 45 minutes for a slightly chewier texture.
  • Cool for at least 30 minutes in the tin then lift out using the baking paper and cool completely on a wire rack. The squidgy versions will be hard to cut neatly, so chill in the fridge to firm up before cutting into 16 squares.
