Bakewell Tart: jam, frangipane and a Derbyshire story.

The story begins with the Bakewell Pudding from Bakewell in Derbyshire. A published recipe exists from 1845 and, over time, the later Bakewell Tart developed the familiar combination of pastry, jam and almond frangipane.

THE STORY

The classic

Bakewell Tart is traditionally associated with raspberry jam and almond frangipane. It looks simple on paper, but depends on good pastry and a filling that does not become heavy.

Our version

We use homemade strawberry jam, almond frangipane and a buttery pastry base. It remains recognisably Bakewell, but with the jam we make ourselves.
