How to Make Bakewell Tart

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prepare the pastry: In a large bowl, combine 200g plain flour, 100g cold unsalted butter (cubed), 40g caster sugar, and a pinch of salt. Rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Add 2-3 tablespoons of iced water, mixing until a dough forms. Wrap in cling film and chill for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Prepare the frangipane: In a separate bowl, cream together 100g softened unsalted butter and 100g caster sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in 2 large eggs, then add 100g ground almonds, 50g plain flour, and a teaspoon of almond extract. Mix well.
  4. Roll out the pastry and line a 23cm tart tin. Prick the base with a fork.
  5. Spread a layer of raspberry jam (approximately 100g) evenly over the pastry base.
  6. Pour the frangipane mixture over the jam.
  7. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the frangipane is set.
  8. Let the tart cool completely in the tin before dusting with icing sugar and serving.
