Ingredients
- 50 g butter
- 50 g caster sugar aka superfine sugar
- 1 egg
- 50 g self-raising flour
- 25 g ground almonds
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- 1 sweet pastry case I used Waitrose, 18cm / 7 inch diameter
- 2 tablespoons raspberry jam
- 25 g almonds flaked
- 250 g raspberries fresh
Instructions
- Pre-heat your oven to 180C / 160C fan / gas mark 4 / 350F.
- Beat the butter and sugar together until pale and fluffy. Add the egg and mix together. Add the flour and stir in gently. Add the ground almonds and the vanilla extract, and stir together gently.
- Spread the jam evenly over the base of the pastry case. Carefully spread the frangipane mixture over the top so it completely covers the jam. Sprinkle over 16 of the raspberries, pushing them down gently so they are partially submerged.
- Sprinkle over the flaked almonds and put the tart in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes.
- After 30 minutes, check the frangipane is cooked by inserting a skewer (or the handle of a teaspoon works just as well). If the skewer comes out clean, it’s done. If not give it a couple more minutes and check again.
- Serve the tart with whipped or extra thick cream and the rest of the raspberries. (Or custard, if you prefer!)
