This image shows a white plate full of square cake pieces, each with three visible layers: a light golden-brown crust at the bottom, a soft pale yellow middle with embedded bright red raspberries, and a light brown top dotted with white chocolate chips and dusted with powdered sugar. The texture looks moist and slightly crumbly with fresh raspberries also placed around the plate for decoration. The surface underneath is a white marbled texture, and part of a white bowl with red fruit is blurred in the background. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
2 cups light brown sugar (packed)
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
1 ½ cups white chocolate chips or chunks
1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a little overhang on the sides for easy removal. Lightly grease the parchment with butter or non-stick spray to ensure your blondies come out cleanly.
Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and light brown sugar. Whisk together until smooth and glossy with no sugar clumps.
Step 3: Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract to complete the wet mixture.
Step 4: In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a rubber spatula, mixing just until incorporated.
Step 5: Fold in the white chocolate chips or chunks evenly. Then carefully fold in the raspberries, trying not to break them too much to keep their shape.
Step 6: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Step 7: Allow the blondies to cool in the pan for 15–20 minutes. Use the parchment overhang to lift them out and place on a cooling rack. Once fully cooled, slice into squares or rectangles.

Tips & Variations

Use frozen raspberries straight from the freezer to prevent the batter from becoming watery and maintain color.
For extra texture, add chopped toasted nuts such as almonds or pecans along with the chocolate chips.
Substitute white chocolate with milk or dark chocolate chips for a different flavor profile.
Clean your knife between cuts to achieve neat slices and avoid dragging crumbs through the bars.

Storage

Store the blondies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, keep them in the refrigerator for up to one week or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat briefly in the microwave or enjoy chilled—both are delicious options.

How to Serve

The image shows several square pieces of a light golden blond cake with raspberries baked inside, arranged closely on a white plate. Each piece has visible red raspberries scattered in the soft cake layers, and some white chocolate chips on the surface. The tops of the cake squares are lightly dusted with white powdered sugar. A few fresh raspberries are placed around the cake squares on the plate. The plate is set on a white marbled surface that softly reflects light. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use frozen raspberries or do they need to be fresh?

You can use frozen raspberries straight from the freezer. This helps prevent the batter from becoming too watery and keeps the raspberries intact during mixing and baking.

How do I know when the blondies are perfectly baked?

Look for golden edges and test with a toothpick in the center. It should come out with a few moist crumbs but not wet batter. The center will still be slightly soft but will firm up as the blondies cool.
