2 eggs
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla

1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup seedless raspberry jam

2 T. cold unsalted butter

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease 7” x 11” pan.

In mixer combine melted butter and sugar. Add eggs and vanilla. 

Sift together flour, baking powder, cocoa powder, and salt. Stir into wet mixture. Fold in chocolate chips.

Spread batter evenly in pan. Melt jam in microwave. Pour over batter. Drag a knife through batter to marbleize jam into batter.

Dice butter into small pieces. Place pecans, brown sugar, and butter in food processor and pulse until combined. Sprinkle mixture over batter.
