Adding fruit to cake does give it a completely different dimension, adding fresh raspberries to a blondie is a stroke of genius.
Blondies are already soft and gooey and the fresh fruit will make it extra moist. I have found a little more flour is needed than usual. I have also found that these are better the next day – if you can wait that long!
Raspberries are have such a short season you really need to make the most of them. I know you can get most of our summer berries out of season now, but they are so much nicer in season and I do tend to go a little crazy trying to make the most of all our seasonal fruits.

Chocolate and orange is a match made in heaven. I also love the effect of a marble cake, every slice is different as is every cake you make!
As well as adding orange zest to the cake I have also given this cake an orange drizzle. I used granulated sugar in the drizzle which gives the cake a crunchy top. You can of course use caster sugar or icing sugar. Continue reading “Chocolate Orange Marble Cake”
