Bakewell tart is a classic British dessert. Shortcrust pastry filled with raspberry jam and frangipane (almond cream), topped with flaked almonds.

This delicious dessert recipe is a tasty baked good to bring to gatherings to have as a family dessert.

They were also actively promoted by the Ministry of Food during WWII thanks to most Rock Cake recipes using fewer eggs and sugar than a traditional cake. What’s with the name?

two pictures of pastries with raisins on them
