Method

Crushed raspberry Bakewell tart

1.Preheat oven to 190°C and place a tray in to heat. Line a 12cm x 26cm tart tin (or you can use a round tin) with pastry, rolled out to fit. Press in gently and trim off the excess pastry from around the rim.
2.Spread the raspberry jam evenly over the base of the pastry. Lightly crush the raspberries with a fork and scatter over the raspberry jam.
3.Beat the butter and sugar in a bowl until light and fluffy. Add the ground almonds and beat briefly to combine. Beat in the eggs, one at a time. Fold in the flour and lemon zest.
4.Gently spoon the almond mix over the crushed raspberries. Sprinkle with the sliced almonds and bake on top of the heated tray for 25-30 minutes until the tart is golden and set. Allow to cool slightly before icing with lemon icing.
