Strawberry Jammie Dodger Blondie Recipe

A delicious layered blondie, with a pink strawberry Jammie Dodger base, strawberry jam swirled blondie and naturally pink, strawberry ganache topping!

White chocolate and strawberries is one of the yummiest flavour combinations and this blondie is a perfect example! The Jammie Dodger base gives a nice crisp texture to the base, with a layer of gooey strawberry jam swirled blondie and a sweet strawberry whipped ganache topping - then of course, more cute pink Jammie Dodgers to finish!

This recipe makes one 7" x 11" sheet cake. It is best eaten within four days while is it freshest. Store in an airtight container in a cool and dry place or freeze for longer. If you use fresh strawberries instead of freeze dried, it is best to store in the fridge.

How to make your cake;

1. Pre heat the oven to 160°c and line your baking tin with baking paper

2. Begin my making your blondie batter. Melt the white chocolate, then add all the dry ingredients into the bowl, flour, sugar, baking powder and vanilla powder, and give them a quick whisk together

3. Add the wet ingredients, oil, plant milk and apple cider vinegar, and mix again until there are no large lumps. Set aside until needed

4. Set aside six Jammie Dodgers for the top decoration, then add the rest to your lined baking tin to create a base layer

5. Pour the blondie mixture careful over the top of the biscuits, taking care not to disturb them too much

6. Add small blobs of strawberry jam all over the top of the blondie batter and use the spoon or a knife to swirl it into the blondie mixture to create a strawberry ripple effect. Try not knock the biscuits underneath

7. Bake for around 25-30 minutes until the blondie is turning lightly golden. The edges of the blondie should be firm but there should be a slight jiggle in the middle

8. Set the blondie aside to cool

9. As the blondie cools, make your ganache topping

10. Add the chocolate and cream together in a large bowl and heat gently in the microwave until everything has melted together. Heat in short bursts and stir in between. Make sure not to overheat and burn the chocolate

11. Add the freeze dried strawberry powder and mix throughly

12. Leave the ganache to cool down slightly for around 30 minutes

13. Now the ganache should feel slightly thicker and may be beginning to set slightly around the edges of the bowl. Use the electric hand whisk to whip the ganache. It should turn lighter in colour and the texture will start to get fluffier

14. Once the sponge has fully cooled, spread your whipped ganache on top of the cooled blondie

15. Decorate the top with the extra Jammie Dodger and a sprinkle of freeze dried strawberry pieces or chopped fresh strawberries and then it's ready to eat!

• This is my cake tin - my tin is 7" x 11" x 2" - https://amzn.to/45YU9Do

• These are my mixing bowls - https://amzn.to/489iB6s

• This is my small angled palette knife - https://amzn.to/3VLIO3w or this one is slightly cheaper https://amzn.to/46j4VTY

• An electric hand whisk is really needed to get the ganache light and fluffy. You may be able to whip it by hand with a large spoon or whisk but my arms are not strong enough for that! - https://amzn.to/3IgAt4O

• I always use this vanilla powder https://amzn.to/46GsRSC
