Well we have a Platinum Jubilee coming up from the 2nd of July of our Beloved Queen
So I thought I best get an Iconic Bake in before we all start to bake up a storm for out street parties and afternoon teas in celebration
To mark the event … I decided on nothing to whacky but something traditional with a twist
So I’ve chosen a Bakewell Tart and taken out the equation of pastry 🙊
I know for some that will just make your heart sing 😂
But we do want to spend time celebrating and not fussing over elaborate decorated cakes ( But you can if you want ) 😂😂
So we have all the flavour of almonds and lovely juice raspberries just waiting to be savoured !!! And even though this looks a rustic bake I want to tell you I would be more than happy to be served this at an afternoon tea
And Im sure Liz would be happy with this fayre too ……
We all know its her Majesty that decrees that its jam before cream on a scone , so if she delights in scones she will delight in a pastry-less Bakewell Cake 😍
So without further ado…. lets bake because you wont believe how simple this is
recipe

- In a small bowl , add the water to the chia seeds or flax and set aside until they become swollen and gloopy ……about 10 minutes
- Grease and fully line a 20 cm / 8in spring formed cake tin
- Place the ground almonds, dairy free butter, sugar, gluten free flour, baking powder and xanthan gum , chia seed gloop and vanilla extract in a food processor and blitz until well combined.
- Spread half the mix over the cake tin and smooth over the top you may want to press it in with your hands
- Scatter the raspberries over the top of the batter
- Spoon in blobs the remaining cake mixture on top and roughly spread – you might find this easier to do with your fingers.
