Ingredients

• 1 Shortcrust pastry (pie crust)
• 0.75 cup Raspberry jam
• 0.75 cup Butter
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 1.5 cups Ground almonds
• 3 Eggs
• 0.5 cup Flaked almonds
• 2 tbsp Powdered sugar

Steps

1. Line a tart tin with the pastry, prick the base, and chill 20 minutes. Blind bake at 375°F for 12 minutes until just set.
2. Spread the jam thickly over the warm base — raspberry is traditional, though cherry has its defenders.
3. Cream the butter and sugar, beat in the eggs, then fold in the ground almonds and a drop of almond extract. Spread over the jam.
4. Scatter flaked almonds over the top and bake 25 to 30 minutes until golden and just set — a slight wobble in the center is fine.
5. Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm with cream or custard. Named for the Derbyshire town of Bakewell, where the pudding came first and the tart followed.
