Raspberry & White Chocolate Brownies

Preheat the oven to 170°C/160°C fan/350 F/Gas 4 and grease and line a 20cm square cake tin with baking parchment.

Melt the dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of just simmering water. Set aside to cool a little bit. Do the same with the white chocolate in a separate bowl.

With a hand-held electric whisk, beat the butter and both sugars together until light and fluffy. Beat the eggs together in a small jug then gradually pour them into the butter and sugar mixture, whisking the whole time until you have a fluffy smooth mix. Beat in the vanilla bean paste and then the flour. Divide the mixture in half.

Gently fold the melted dark chocolate into one half of the mixture and the white chocolate into the other half.

Roughly dollop the mixture like a checkerboard into the prepared tin. Try starting by putting the dark chocolate in the corners first and when you’re done, push the raspberries into the mixture. Use the end of a teaspoon to swirl the two colours together.

Bake the brownies for 35-40 minutes so that a skewer comes out almost clean but still a little bit sticky. Leave to cool completely in the tin before cutting into squares. These taste even better the next day so try not to eat them all straight away!
