Recipe information-Bakewell Tart with Almonds Recipe
40 minutes
Ingredients
- 1 sheet of ready-made shortcrust pastry
- 150g unsalted butter, softened
- 150g caster sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 150g ground almonds
- 1 tsp almond extract
- 3 tbsp raspberry jam
- 50g flaked almonds
Instructions
1. To start, preheat your oven to 180°C/160°C fan/gas mark 4. Roll out your shortcrust pastry sheet and line a 23cm tart tin, trimming off any excess. Prick the base with a fork and chill in the fridge for 15 minutes.
2. In a bowl, cream together the softened butter and caster sugar until light and fluffy. Gradually beat in the eggs, one at a time, adding a spoonful of ground almonds with each egg. Stir in the almond extract to add a subtle nutty flavour to the mixture.
3. Spread the raspberry jam evenly over the pastry base, then spoon over the almond mixture and smooth the top. Sprinkle the flaked almonds over the top for that extra bit of crunch and texture.
4. Pop the tart into the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until golden and set. Allow to cool slightly before slicing and serving with a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
5. The combination of sweet almond filling, tangy raspberry jam, and buttery crust is a match made in heaven. Your guests will be raving about this Bakewell Tart with Almonds for days to come, so be sure to whip up an extra batch for them to take home.
