Ingredients
  

  • 200g White Chocolate (Melted).
  • 175g Unsalted Butter (Melted).
  • 200g Caster Sugar
  • 2 Eggs (Medium Eggs, 50g each).
  • 1 Egg Yolk
  • 280g Plain Flour
  • 20g Cornflour
  • 30g Golden Syrup
  • 1 tsp Almond Flavouring
  • 200g White Chocolate (Chopped or Chocolate Chips).
  • 100g Raspberry Jam
  • 100g Chopped Glace Cherries
  • 50g Flaked Almonds

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to Gas Mark 4 / 180Âșc and line an 9 inch square tin with parchment paper.
  2. Add the unsalted butter and white chocolate to a bowl and melt in short bursts in the microwave, stirring well each time, until smooth. (Ensure you stir well in between to stop it from splitting).
  3. Once melted, stir in your caster sugar until combined (it may look split but the eggs will bring it back together).
  4. Add in the eggs, almond flavouring and golden syrup and stir again until combined.
  5. Mix through the plain flour and cornflour you can no longer see any flour.
  6. Fold through your chocolate and glace cherries.
  7. Pour the mixture into your lined tin, pipe on your raspberry jam and swirl through. I like to try and swirl it through to the middle so I get raspberry chunks in every bite! You can layer the blondie and pour half the mixture in, swirl some raspberry jam through then top with more blondie and jam.
  8. Sprinkle on some flaked almonds before baking.
  9. Bake for 30-35 minutes (mine take 30 minutes), take them out the oven when there is an ever so slight wobble in the middle.
  10. Once baked, let the blondies cool in the tin fully, and then set the blondies in the fridge for 3-4 hours or overnight for best results!
  11. Slice your blondie into 9-12 slices and enjoy!
