Description

Delightful bars that combine tart lemon and sweet raspberry flavors, perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup raspberry puree
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. Cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs, lemon juice, and lemon zest to the butter-sugar mixture and mix until well combined.
  4. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in another bowl. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until just combined.
  5. Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan, then swirl in the raspberry puree. Add the remaining batter on top and create swirls with a knife.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool the bars in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

These bars are best served chilled or at room temperature. Dust with powdered sugar or serve with vanilla ice cream for extra flair.
