Method

  1. Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Butter, then line, a shallow rectangular tin, approx 25cm x 22cm. Melt the butter in a pan, then cook gently for about 5 minutes, until the white solids turn golden and the butter smells biscuity and sweet. Cool for 5 minutes, then add half the white chocolate and set aside for a couple of minutes to melt. Stir until smooth.
  2. Use electric beaters to whisk the muscovado sugar and eggs together for about 2 minutes until thick and pale. Tip in the flour, salt, cooled chocolatey butter and vanilla, then fold in with a metal spoon or spatula until even.
  3. Pour the mix into the tin, then scatter with the rest of the chocolate and the raspberries. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until risen all over, with a dark golden crust. Cool completely in the tin, then cut into squares.

    Made these at the weekend and my housemate declared them the best cake she'd ever tasted. Very rich but the raspberries offset the sweet white chocolate perfectly. Great for a picnic.

    Just wondered how well this would freeze? Any thoughts?

    I made this today and was very disappointed. I followed the recipe to the letter but it still wasn't cooked after an extra 1/2 an hour in the oven. It rose beautifully within 1/2 an hour then I covered it with foil to stop it browning any further. After I took it out it sank. The top was golden and crispy but the bottom doesn't appear to be cooked properly and is very greasy. I'd be grateful to know if anyone else had the same result or has any suggestions.

    very easy to make - I took them to the cricket as part of a picnic and they were enjoyed by all, but somehow they were not quite as delicious as expected.

    I agree with Frances on this - made exactly as the recipe and when I cut into it it wasn't cooked in the centre. I wandered whether I didn't whisk the sugar and eggs enough - not everyone has an electric whisk!

    Everyone loved this, baked it and took on caravan holiday, had to hide it, so it did not all go at once. Next time I would not chop the chocolate as small as I did.

    I made this at the weekend and it was a huge hit! The sharpness of the raspberry is a nice contrast against the sweetness of the cake. I agree with the previous comment, I wouldn't chop the chocolate so small next time, and maybe add a bit extra! Will definately be making this again.
