Method

  • step 1

    Unravel the pastry and use it to line a 20cm cake or pie tin with sloped sides. Trim the pastry, leaving about 2cm overhanging. Chill the pastry case while you prepare the filling. Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4.

  • step 2

    Beat the butter and sugar together in a bowl using an electric whisk for 2-3 mins until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs, ground almonds, lemon zest, almond extract and a pinch of salt, then beat again until combined. Remove the pastry case from the fridge and spread the jam over its base, then spoon in the almond and egg mixture, smoothing it to the edge using a spatula. Scatter the flaked almonds on top and bake for 50 mins until golden brown. Leave to cool for at least 30 mins, then dust with icing sugar and serve with cream or ice cream. Will keep in an airtight container for a few days.

question

Can I make it without the pastry or jam? I just want to bake the filling, not too keen on crusts etc.

This was so easy and was out of this world! I just used roll out puff pastry in an oblong glass roaster. I added plenty of jam and lemon juice instead of zest and it was delicious! Just gorgeous warm with cream!!

I remember the most wonderful pudding that - as far as I recall - comprised chocolate and popcorn and ended up as a compressed oval, quite deep, soft, cakey biscuity thing. It tasted completely marvellous. I wonder if anyone else remembers it. It may have been served with chocolate sauce. I would…

Hi, thanks for your question. Measurements for a sloped pie tin are usually given as the widest part/the top of the tin. We hope this helps. Best wishes, BBC Good Food Team.
