How to Make Raspberry Jam Squares

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease and flour a 9x9 inch baking pan.
In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter and 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Stir in 1 cup shredded coconut and 1/2 cup chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, or your favorite).
Pour about 2/3 of the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
Spread 1 cup raspberry jam evenly over the batter.
Drop spoonfuls of the remaining batter over the jam.
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
