Method

  1. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Line the base and sides of a buttered traybake tin, about 18-20cm x 30cm, with baking parchment. Roll out the pastry to line. Lift into the tin and evenly press right into the corners. Prick with a fork and chill for 20 mins.
  2. Bake the pastry for 8-10 mins until it's cooked but not too coloured. Cool for a few mins and turn down the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Dot the raspberry jam over the pastry (there's no need to spread) and scatter over the raspberries.
  3. For the sponge, put all the ingredients into a large bowl and beat with an electric whisk until soft and very well mixed. Spoon this over the raspberry layer, then smooth evenly. Scatter over the flaked almonds and bake for 35-40 mins until golden and firm. Cool completely in the tin. Will freeze for up to 3 months - overwrap the tin with baking parchment and foil beforehand.
  4. To serve, thaw for 4 hrs at room temperature, then reheat in a low oven. Melt the apricot jam with 1 tbsp water and brush over the top of the sponge just before serving.

    I made this to take to a staff meeting last week and it got rave reviews! I didn't have the right size tin so had to cook mine for longer than the recipe stated so that the sponge cooked through, but it ended up perfect, very moist. Hubby said I should add more almond extract next time so I might do that, but that's just personal taste. Excellent recipe!

    I made this today for a family lunch but substituted the ground almonds for ground rice and almond extract for vanilla to cater for nut allergy sufferers. It was perfect. Full of flavour and very moist. Lovely

    This is really gorgeous - I couldn't get any frozen raspberries so I just dotted homemade raspberry jam around instead and it worked very well. I think I would use jam again in future...

    Delicious. I liked the fact that it uses whole raspberries: made it taste a bit more special than your average bakewell tart.

    I made this for the 1st time a couple of weeks ago for work and home and it went down a storm. I didnt have any raspberrries, but used a very good quality seedless raspberry jam. Made 2 large ones and about 10 individual ones using 2 batches of this mixture, iced them instead of the toasted almonds :-) Had to leave the large ones in slightly longer another 10mins as the middle wasnt cooked. But overall a great tasty cake to make, and easy too. Will definitely be making again :-)

    Tastes brilliant, easy to make and looks great what more could anyone want. Made it for a family get together and they all went straight away. Making again and freezing to bring out over Christmas.

    Followed this recipe exactly, put it in the freezer on 4th December, ready for Christmas Day. Got it out on Xmas Eve, let it defrost overnight, and then heated it up after lunch and did the apricot jam drizzle. Absolutely fabulous. The best dessert I have ever made. I will definitely do this again. Everybody loved it, even people who don't normally eat puddings had two helpings. Highly recommended.

    Can't agree more with the comment above, made this as an alternative to a birthday cake for a friend who loves bakewell tarts and it went down a storm! Best when fresh out of the oven and warm with cream but also lovely cold with a cuppa. Really easy to make too, I will definitely make this again.

    oh and didnt use the rasperries - just some homemade apple & blackberry jam and was wonderful - i think it would work with any good jam and i might try next time with lemon curd......

    This is requested time and time again by friends and family, very quick and easy to make but end to use more almond extract than stated in the recipe.
