White Chocolate and Blackcurrant Blondies

Ingredients

• 200g caster sugar
• 3 eggs
• 200g butter, melted
• 150g plain flour
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 200g white chocolate buttons or chips
• 100g blackcurrants, tops and tails removed
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Method

Preheat an oven to 180C. Grease a 20cm square baking tin then line it with baking paper.

Beat the sugar, eggs and vanilla extract together until light and fluffy then beat in the melted butter. Add the butter a little at a time.

Sieve the flour and baking powder together then tip this into the egg mixture and fold it in lighlty.

Gently fold in the chocolate buttons and blackcurrants and bake for 30-35 minutes or until lightly golden brown but still gooey in the middle.

As it has been so warm recently it did feel a bit odd baking and eating these in the sunshine but they were so good. The soft, squidgy, cakey blondie mix I was really pleased with. The added white chocolate chips, some of which got caramelised in the oven, gave some texture and were a real treat. I loved using the blackcurrants in this as they gave such a distinctive flavour and wonderful colour and turned almost jam like. Next time you get your cake craving I very much recommend you try these.
