The June Daring Bakers' challenge was hosted by Jasmine of Confessions of a Cardamom Addict and Annemarie of Ambrosia and Nectar. They chose a Traditional (UK) Bakewell Tart... er... pudding that was inspired by a rich baking history dating back to the 1800's in England.Finally a challenge that allowed me to bring out my as-yet-unused tart pan. The Bakewell Tart consists of three parts - a sweet pastry, jam and frangipane, a lovely almond filling. I opted to do a classic flavour combination of almond paired with raspberry jam and ended up with, in my opinion, a very authentic tasting tart.
The crust was solid and held everything together. The jam was seedless store-bought and provided a splash of sweetness and the frangipane was light in texture and the star of the tart. It cut beautifully and tasted even better cold the next day.
I really enjoyed this challenge. The tart was easy to prepare, looks impressive and was extremely edible. I will make it a point to work with frangipane again - I loved it.
Your tart looks great! This was indeed a very nice challenge - both in the making and the eating! Great Job!

I like your tart stand, so pretty and white. The tart is lovely too.
ReplyDeleteOh yea, I was excited to use the tart pan I don't get to use very often too!
ReplyDeleteHope mine turns out as well as yours did!
your tart looks great. I enjoyed this challenge too
ReplyDeleteWell done, well done! I agree on the fragipane - I didn't even know what it was before this challenge. The husband ate most of the leftover batter, which was a sure sign that the tart was going to be pretty great. I agree on the leftover/cold point too - I've been eating the little tartlettes I made out of the fridge in the morning. This challenge is going to gain me another five pounds! Cheers.
ReplyDeleteGlad you finally got to use that baking tart, Jen!
ReplyDeleteYummmmmyyyy...
ReplyDeleteThe pudding look delicious, thanks!
