I think this picture says it all! Look at that delicious gooey middle filled with lemon curd and white chocolate chips! This is a Blondie taken to the next level and I am very excited to share this deliciousness with you!
INGREDIENTS
200g Salted Butter
240g Soft Dark Brown Sugar
190g Caster Sugar
1tsp Vanilla Extract
2 large or 3 small Free Range Eggs (roughly 110g of egg)
4g Baking Powder
Pinch of Salt
300g Plain Flour
230g White Chocolate
150g Lemon Curd
1 Lemon
2tbsp of Caster Sugar for the topping
20cm Square Baking Tin (or close to this!)
METHOD
- Pre-heat your oven to 180 degrees
- Melt your salted butter in the microwave until melted, don't over heat!
- Once melted, add in your caster sugar and soft dark brown sugar in a bowl, then add your vanilla extract and mix until combined
- Next, crack in your eggs and stir until fully combined
- Add your flour, baking powder and pinch of salt, stirring to combine, ensure there are no lumps of flour left
- Next stir in your white chocolate chips (you can use any chocolate you like!), ensure all are covered
- Take the mixture and add to your greased or lined baking tray
- Create 4 shallow troughs using a teaspoon ready to add your lemon curd
- Add your lemon curd into the troughs, then use the back of a spatula to gently cover the troughs with the surrounding cake mixture so you end up with hidden pockets
- Place the tray into the oven for 17-20 minutes until a golden crust forms
- Next, zest 1 lemon into a bowl, then squeeze the juice of that lemon into the bowl
- Add in your 2 table spoons of caster sugar and mix. Taste the mixture, it should be tart, but if it is too much, add more caster sugar to your taste
- Once your blondies are baked, let it cool for a few minutes, then gently poke even holes throughout the blondie ready to add your lemon drizzle
- Use a spoon to gently drizzle the lemon mixture over the top of your tray-bake, ensuring to get an even drizzle, the sugar will harden to give you that delicious crunchy topping found on Lemon Drizzle cakes
- Now the hard bit... Wait for your blondies to fully cool before taking a big slice for yourself!
