Raspberry and white chocolate traybake

This raspberry and white chocolate traybake, with succulent fruit and perfectly golden sponge takes just fifteen minutes to prepare for the oven. so it’s as easy to make as it is delicious.

The sponge is soft and fluffy, with bursts of gooey,  tangy raspberries, all dotted with sweet, creamy white chocolate chips.

You’ll make the white chocolate chip batter in a single bowl, and then spread it into the tin before scattering the raspberries on top, along with extra white chocolate chips.

This traybake is perfect for school cake sales, family gatherings and more!

In the recipe, I recommend cutting into 16 generous portions, but you could cut into 32 and still have decent sized pieces, so it’s definitely a winner for your next big party.

And don’t worry, you won’t need any special equipment. You can cream the butter and sugar by hand or with an electric whisk, fold in the other ingredients with a spatula or wooden spoon, and then cook the batter in a standard roasting tin.

Here’s how to make this raspberry and white chocolate traybake.

Equipment

Beat in the eggs and vanilla until well combined.

Fold in the flour with a metal spoon.

Stir in 100g (3.5oz) of the chocolate chips.

Pour the batter into the greased 30cm x 23cm (12″ x 9”) greaseproof tray.

Sprinkle on the remaining white chocolate chips then the raspberries so that they’re evenly distributed.

Bake in the centre of the oven for 40-50 minute until golden and springy if pressed gently in the centre.

Allow to cool before cutting into 16 evenly sized pieces.

Tips for the perfect traybake

Read on for hosts of tips on how to make, bake and store your traybake. Plus other tasty recipe ideas.

What other ingredients can I put in my traybake?

Summer berries like strawberries and blackberries work particularly well with a white sponge such as this, as do apples and pears with a little cinnamon or allspice.

You could swap out the white chocolate for chopped nuts, candied ginger, or drops of caramel.

If you want to get more creative with the type of mixture you’re using then how about a carrot cake traybake with cream cheese frosting, or using ground almonds in the sponge for a raspberry Bakewell traybake?

Can I freeze raspberry and white chocolate traybake?

Yes, just make sure to get them in the freezer within 2 hours of baking, they will freeze well for at least 1 month. Remember to store them in an airtight container or wrapped up in foil so they don’t get freezer burn.

You can also cut the traybake into individual portions and wrap them separately so you only need to defrost what you want.

If you pack a frozen one in a lunchbox in the morning it should be defrosted for a lunchtime treat.

How long will raspberry and white chocolate traybake keep for?

Stored in an airtight container, your traybake should keep for 2-3 days. As it has fresh fruit on top, take care to look out for any signs of mould.

Can I use frozen fruit in my raspberry traybake?

Yes, you can, and it’s a great choice when fruit is out of season. Just remember that frozen fruit will cool the batter down so it may make your cooking times longer.
