Bakewell Tart - Almond Frangipane and Raspberry Jam
Bakewell tart is a classic British dessert. Shortcrust pastry filled with raspberry jam and frangipane (almond cream), topped with flaked almonds. This is a traditional bakewell tart, which means it has raspberry jam inside. Some people like to use cherry jam but the classic version is raspberry and almond frangipane. This delicious dessert recipe is a tasty baked good to bring to gatherings to have as a family dessert.
The English Classic Battenberg Cake
The English Classic Battenberg Cake consists of fluffy checked sponge all sandwiched together with jam and wrapped in thick almond marzipan. A beautiful, flavourful cake that goes perfectly with a nice cup of tea. This recipe actually makes two cakes. Sounds strange I know, but it's easier to make two than it is to make one. If you really don't think you can eat them both, then you could just freeze one. It freezes well, and makes a great treat a few weeks later when you forgot you made it!
