Bakewell Tart
Description
Bakewell Tart begins with a ready rolled shortcrust pastry lining a tart tin, blind baked until golden. The base is spread with raspberry jam before adding the frangipane filling made by creaming butter and sugar, then beating in eggs, almond extract, and ground almonds. This mixture is smoothed over the jam and baked until the frangipane is set and golden.
The tart is finished with a drizzle of icing sugar mixed with water and sieved raspberry jam, creating a delicate pink glaze. Fresh raspberries are arranged on top for decoration and added fruit flavor.
This tart offers a balance of buttery pastry, sweet and nutty almond filling, and bright raspberry notes. It is served as a dessert or with tea, showcasing classic Bakewell flavor combinations.
