Summer recipe! Raspberry and white chocolate

What a scorcher of a summer so far... hope you are all enjoying it!!

Sometimes not the best time to be me having the oven so much as I do!! Time for a Summer recipe! I made this for my market at the Royal Bank at Gogarburn today and it sold out!

I got the recipe from icakes.wordpress.

Raspberry and White Chocolate Loaf.

Ingredients-

125g Butter.

125g Caster Sugar.

3 eggs.

175g Self Raising Flour.

1/2 tsp. Baking Powder.

1 tsp. Vanilla Extract.

1 tbsp.Milk.

125g Raspberries.

75g White Chocolate - cut into chunks or use drops. plus another 75g to top cake with.

Method-

1.Heat oven to 170C and grease a line a 2lb loaf tin. (You could make it into a cake and put it into a cake tin instead).

2.Whisk together the butter, sugar,eggs, flour, baking powder, vanilla extract and milk unitl light and fluffy.

3. Add the raspberries. ( I toss them in flour to stop them falling to the bottom of the cake - DO THIS BEFORE YOU ADD TO CAKE). Then the white chocolate - gently fold them in and be careful not to break up the raspberries.

3. Spoon into tin and cover with a sheet of tin foil - bake for 40 mins.

4. Remove the foil and bake for further 20-30 mins until golden and springy to touch.

5. Let it cool slightly then put on wire rack to cool complete;y.

6 Melt the chocolate (I just melted it in the microwave) then drizzle over the top. Add some fresh raspberries if you like.

7. Enjoy...it's delicious!!
