A NOTE FROM THE KITCHEN
Blind-bake the shell before adding the filling.
Use a 9-inch / 23 cm fluted tart pan with a removable base, baking parchment, and baking weights or dried beans. This version has a flaked-almond top without icing. The pastry, jam, and almond filling are separate layers.

BEHIND THE DISH · England
Bakewell tart · raspberry jam & almond fillingBeyond the plate.
A crisp shell, a bright jam layer, and a soft almond filling give Bakewell tart three distinct textures.
ORIGINS & EVOLUTION
An English almond-and-jam tart.
Bakewell tart belongs to British baking’s almond-and-fruit repertoire. Its shortcrust shell holds jam beneath a frangipane-style almond filling; it is distinct from the separate Bakewell pudding tradition.
CULTURAL CONTEXT
A familiar tea-table slice.
Raspberry jam supplies a sharp contrast to the sweet almond mixture. Some versions carry icing, while others finish with flaked almonds and a golden baked surface.
AT THE TABLE
A layered home method.
Our version blind-bakes the pastry before adding jam and filling. Flaked almonds are scattered over the top, and the tart cools before slicing so the pastry and soft middle can hold their shape.
