Chocolate Chip, Cardamom & Raspberry Blondies

  • Time preparation 15 minutes
  • cook time 25-30 minutes
  • Serve Serves 12

  • 150g butter, melted, plus extra for greasing
  • 200g plain flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • pinch of salt
  • 6 cardamom pods, seeds removed and lightly crushed
  • 150g light brown muscovado sugar
  • 50g dark brown muscovado sugar
  • 2 medium free-range eggs, beaten
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 100g dark chocolate chunks
  • 75g pistachio nuts, roughly chopped
  • 100g fresh raspberries

Preheat the oven to 200°C/180 °C/Gas 6. Butter and base line a 20cm square baking tin.

Sift the flour, baking powder and salt into a large mixing bowl, then stir in the cardamom seeds and sugars. Add the eggs, vanilla and melted butter, and mix lightly, then fold in the chocolate chunks and two-thirds of the pistachios to give a soft consistency (being careful not to overmix).
