Method

  1. 1

    Batter. Mix the flour, baking powder and salt. Melt the butter and chocolate until smooth, whisk in 60 g of the jam and leave to cool a little. Stir in the sugar, eggs and vanilla, then the flour mixture.

  2. 2

    Filling. Heat the oven to 180 °C (160 °C fan) and line the tin. Beat the cream cheese with the sugar, yolk and vanilla until completely smooth.

  3. 3

    Assemble. Spread half the batter in the tin, spoon the cream cheese over in an even layer and top with the remaining batter.

  4. 4

    Swirl. Warm the rest of the jam so it is runny, drop it over in small spoonfuls, swirl with a knife and press in the raspberries.

  5. 5

    Bake. Bake 35-40 min, until a cocktail stick shows moist crumbs and the cream cheese layer reads at least 71 °C.

  6. 6

    Chill. Cool in the tin, then refrigerate at least 2 h before cutting into 16 squares.
