Ingredients

- 175 g Unsalted Butter
- 175 g Light Brown Sugar
- 50 g Granulated Sugar
- 3 Large Eggs
- 200 g Plain Flour
- 50 g Ground Almonds
- 1 tsp Almond Extract
- Pink Food Colouring

- 200 g Marzipan
To Decorate
- 200 g White Chocolate
- Mini Battenberg

Instructions
To Make the Blondies
- Preheat the oven to 180C (160CFan) and line a 9-inch square cake tin with baking parchment. Leave to one side.
- In a bowl cream together the butter and both sugars until lovely and light in colour.
- Add in the eggs, plain flour, ground almonds and almond extract and mix again until all the ingredients are combined fully.
- Split the mixture into two separate bowls. In one bowl mix in the pink food colouring and add the yellow food colouring to the second bowl.
- Randomly dollop the mixture into the cake tin alternating between the pink and yellow mixture. Swirl them together using a skewer.
- Roll your marzipan into varying sizes of balls and press them into the blondie mixture. If you need to spread the blondie mixture over the top to cover the marzipan.
- Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes, until they are golden in colour and ever so slightly wobble.
- Remove from the oven and leave to cool in the tin for 15-20 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool fully.
To Decorate
- Once your Battenberg Blondies are cooled, melt the white chocolate in a heatproof bowl in the microwave. Do this in 20-second bursts, stirring in between each burst until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
- Add the chocolate to a piping bag and snip off the end of the bag, or use a small round piping nozzle. Drizzle the chocolate over the top of your blondies.
- Cut your Mini Battenbergs 3-4 times depending on how thick you would like the slices and place them on top of your blondies.
- Sprinkle over some sprinkles and enjoy!
Notes
- These Battenberg Blondies will last around 5+ days in an airtight container.
