The Bakewell Tart is an English confection consisting of a shortcrust pastry shell beneath layers of jam, frangipane, and a topping of flaked almonds. The tart originated in the Derbyshire town of Bakewell.[1][2]

Etymology

The term Bakewell Tart entered common usage during the 20th century.[3]

History

In the 20th century, the Bakewell Tart recipe was developed as a variant of the Bakewell pudding.[2][3] Although the terms Bakewell Tart and Bakewell Pudding have been used interchangeably, each name refers to a specific dessert recipe.[1][3][4] The tart is available in cake shops and supermarkets throughout the United Kingdom.[3]

A Cherry Bakewell, also known as a Bakewell Cake, is a version of the tart where the frangipane is covered with a top layer of almond-flavoured fondant and a single half glacé cherry.[3][4]

Gloucester Tart

In Gloucester, a similar tart was made using ground rice, raspberry jam and almond essence.[5] In 2013, council leader Paul James discovered a recipe for Gloucester Tart in a Gloucester history book.[5][6] Subsequently, Gloucester museums revived the recipe, serving complimentary Gloucester Tarts to museum patrons.[7]
