Bakewell Slices Recipe.

Ingredients:

For Pastry:

1 LB Pack Pie Crust.

5 TBSP Seedless Raspberry Jam.

1/2 Cup frozen raspberries, just thawed

2 TBSP Flaked almonds

4 TBSP apricot jam

For Sponge:

1 Cup butter, very soft, plus a little extra for the tin

1 Cup golden fine sugar

1/2 Cup ground almonds

1/2 Cup self-raising flour

1 TSP baking powder

1/2 TSP almond extract

4 eggs, beaten

Recipe Instructions:

Heat oven to 400 degrees. Line the base and sides of a buttered traybake tin,
about 12x9" 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.

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 300 degrees.
Dot the raspberry jam over the
pastry (there's no need to spread) and scatter over the raspberries.

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 before slicing.
