How to Make Bakewell Pudding

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F/Gas Mark 6).
  2. On a lightly floured surface, roll out 200g of ready-made shortcrust pastry to a 12-inch circle. Gently transfer to a 900ml (30oz) shallow pie dish. Trim and crimp the edges neatly with your fingers.
  3. Prick the base of the pastry with a fork to prevent it from puffing up during baking.
  4. Spread 100g of raspberry jam evenly over the pastry base.
  5. While you prepare the filling, chill the pastry case in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
  6. In a mixing bowl, cream together 100g softened unsalted butter and 100g caster sugar until light and fluffy.
  7. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon of almond extract.
  8. Gradually fold in 100g ground almonds until well combined.
  9. Pour the almond mixture evenly over the jam layer in the pastry case.
  10. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is set and golden brown. A skewer inserted into the center should come out clean.
  11. Let the Bakewell Pudding cool slightly in the dish before serving. Enjoy warm or cold, with fresh cream or custard.
