Blondie problems

Hello, wonder if anyone can help me. I am trying to make blondies and I am using the following recipe:
115g butter
400g light soft brown sugar
250g plain flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
Vanilla extract

I bake it low on 120°c in a fan oven for 45 minutes, any higher and quicker just burns the top. I think there is an issue with the oven with temperature!

The problem I am having is that my blondies are coming out beautiful on the edges, really thick and chewy, but the middle is like a hard lid with the inside sunk right down to half the height with a gap in between. Why would this keep happening? I have tried 3 times now and the same thing. Do I need to bake it longer? Higher? Change the recipe? It's so frustrating!! Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Bumping for you OP.

Two suggestions from me though based on, er, never ever having made blondies.

  1. Could it be too much baking powder so rising too high then sinking again?

  2. What if you cover it with tin foil so it doesn't burn?
