Main Ingredients
- 200g white chocolate chips
- 150g fresh raspberries
- 200g all-purpose flour
- 150g sugar
- 150g unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- Preheat and Prepare: Set your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a rectangular baking tray with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal.
- Cream Butter and Sugar: Using a hand mixer, beat together softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy, creating an airy base for your traybake.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, making sure each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract to infuse delightful aroma.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agents.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the butter mixture, being careful not to overmix to keep the batter light and tender.
- Fold in White Chocolate and Raspberries: Gently fold in the white chocolate chips and fresh raspberries, taking care to avoid breaking up the raspberries too much to retain their burst of flavor.
- Bake to Perfection: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared tray and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Slice: Let the traybake cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares to enjoy the perfect bite of white chocolate and raspberry goodness.
Notes
- Use fresh raspberries for best texture; frozen berries add extra moisture.
- Don’t overmix the batter to ensure a soft and fluffy texture.
- Line the tray well with parchment paper having some overhang for easy lifting and clean edges.
- Check baking doneness starting at 20 minutes as oven temperatures vary.
- Sprinkle a few white chocolate chips on top before baking for a melted finish.
- For gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
- To increase moisture, add a tablespoon of sour cream or yogurt to the batter.
- Use a sharp knife warmed under hot water and dried to cut the traybake neatly without crumbling.
