Recipe Introduction
Two-Step Raspberry Bars
Garnish each serving with slices of orange and a few fresh raspberries.
List of Ingredients
Step 1:
1/2 cup butter, softened
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 cups sugar
4 eggs
2 teaspoons almond extract
Juice and zest from 1 small orange
3 cups self-rising flour
1 cup finely chopped almonds
Recipe
Cream the butter, cream cheese and sugar together with an electric mixer in a large bowl.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the almond extract, the orange juice and zest, flour and nuts. Beat until smooth, about 2 minutes. Spread batter into a greased and floured jelly roll pan.
Step 2:
2 (12-ounce) cans raspberry filling
Powdered sugar
Spread the raspberry filling evenly over the batter in the jelly roll pan. With a knife swirl the filling into the batter with a circular wavy motion. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. When completely cooled, dust with the powdered sugar.
Tip: Use strawberry or cherry pie filling if you prefer.
