Cherry Bakewell Blondies

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C / 356°F fan-assisted and line the base and sides of a square 7-inch baking tin with baking paper.
2. Add all the blondie ingredients to a food processor and process until smooth.
3. Pour half the blondie mixture into the baking tin and smooth it out. Then evenly distribute 9 tsp of cherry jam over the blondie mixture. Pour the remaining blondie mixture into the tin and spread it out evenly. Top with almond flakes, then slice the cherries in half, remove the stones and use the cherry halves to decorate. Bake in the oven for 40 minutes.
4. Remove the blondie from the oven and leave to cool for ten minutes. Then remove the blondie from the tin and dust with a little icing and cut into 9 equal squares.
5. For extra indulgence, serve with scoop of vegan ice cream while the blondies are still warm. Yum!
