Fruits & Chocolate
- Fresh Raspberries – 150 grams
- White Chocolate Chunks – 120 grams
Dry Ingredients
- All-Purpose Flour – 200 grams (for gluten-free option, substitute with gluten-free baking blend)
- Granulated Sugar – 150 grams
- Baking Powder – 1 teaspoon
Wet Ingredients
- Butter (softened) – 120 grams
- Eggs – 2 large
- Vanilla Extract – 1 teaspoon
- Milk – 3 tablespoons
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a rectangular baking tin (approximately 20×30 cm). Chop the white chocolate into chunks, measure all ingredients, and gather fresh raspberries.
- Cream Butter and Sugar: Beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy. This step is key for delivering a moist and tender traybake base.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Slowly add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to fully incorporate them. Mix in the vanilla extract to infuse warmth and depth to the batter.
- Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Sift together the all-purpose flour and baking powder. Gently fold this into the wet mixture, then add the milk to loosen and moisten the batter without overmixing.
- Fold in White Chocolate and Raspberries: Carefully fold in the white chocolate chunks and fresh raspberries, distributing them evenly throughout the batter while being gentle to prevent crushing the berries.
- Bake to Perfection: Pour the batter into the prepared tin and bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes or until the top is golden and a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Slice: Allow the traybake to cool completely in the tin, letting it set for easier slicing. Cut into squares and serve.
Notes
- Use room temperature butter and eggs to achieve a smoother batter and better mixing.
- Fold in the raspberries gently to avoid turning the batter pink and crushing the berries.
- Toss raspberries lightly in a little flour before folding them in to prevent them from sinking.
- Check the traybake early at 30 minutes with a skewer to avoid overbaking and dryness.
- Allow the traybake to cool completely in the pan before slicing for clean, firm slices.
- For gluten-free option, replace all-purpose flour with gluten-free baking blend.
- Use fresh raspberries and good-quality white chocolate for best flavor and texture.
