A take on a classic, bakewell cake!

It's one of those flavours that make you feel like your wrapped up, sung and warm under your cosy duvet on a cold blustery day. A Bakewell...with it's alimondy aroma, soft melting texture, zingy jam and pleasing crunch of toasted almonds on top.

Have you had a go at making this classic tart? For me, I found, it was way too complicated.

Leave out the hard work of pastry making and blind baking and opt for this cake instead. You still get the almondy yummyness with jam and crunch of fragrant toasted almonds on top but with less of the fuss. It's great with a cuppa and just as good as a warm dessert with either custard or icecream.

I had found the recipe online but substituted the fresh raspberries for jam. Sometimes I find that raspberries are a bit tart for me but I'm not stopping you if you like it that way!

Happy baking...and eating ;)
