MARY BERRY(-ISH) CHERRY BAKEWELL TART



Mary Berry(-ish) Cherry Bakewell Tart image

This recipe is adapted from one that appeared on The Great British Baking Show, called "Mary's Bakewell Tart". I changed a few things. I used Tart Cherry Jam, rather than making my own raspberry jam. I also topped the tart with sliced almonds and confectioners' sugar, rather than a confectioners' sugar icing, and added a couple pinches of salt. The jam I used was This one. The original recipe was written with weights of ingredients, in grams, rather than Imperial measurements. I calculated measurements from the weighted ingredients I used. So I recommend using the weights, as noted, if you have a scale. Special equipment needed: a 9" Tart pan or 9" Springform pan, either with removeable bottom. It is worth mentioning that, like many baked goods, the flavor of this tart improves over time. If you can make it a day in advance, I highly recommend it. I like to keep the tart in the refrigerator because it makes the slices much easier and prettier.

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 2/3 c. AP Flour (225 g/8 oz.)
11 T Butter, chilled (150 g/5.5 oz.)
1/4 c. Confectioners' Sugar (25 g/1 oz.)
1 Lg Egg, beaten
2 T ice water, plus more, if necessary to form a soft dough
1/4 t. salt
1/3 c. Tart Cherry Jam (or substitute any of your favorite jam)
11 T Butter, softened (150 g/5.5 oz.)
3/4 c. Granulated or Baker's Sugar (150 g)
1 1/2 c. Almond Flour or Finely Ground Almonds (150g, 5.5 oz.)
1/4 t. Salt
1 Lg Egg, beaten
1 t. Almond Extract
1/3 c. Sliced Almonds
1 T Confectioners' Sugar, sifted

Steps:

  • In the bowl of a food processor (you could also do this by hand using a pastry cutter or your fingers), pulse together the Butter and Flour, until the largest chunks of butter are the size of large breadcrumbs or peas. Add the salt and confectioners' sugar, and egg, pulse again. Slowly add the ice water while pulsing until the ingredients just begin to form a soft dough.
  • On a floured work surface, pour out the dough and roll into a 12″ circle. Transfer the circle to your 9" tart pan or springform, allowing the dough to cover the sides of the pan about 1-2 inches. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 390F. Line the bottom and sides of the tart shell with parchment paper (or foil would work) and cover with pie weights or dried beans (see Notes). Bake 15 minutes, remove weights or beans, then the parchment. Return to oven for 5 minutes until crust appears dry. Cool on a rack for several minutes while preparing filling.
  • Spread the jam across the slightly cooled crust.
  • Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, cream together the butter and sugar until pale and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add the almond flour, egg, salt and almond extract and mix until incorporated. The mixture should be quite thick, sort of like thick oatmeal. Spoon on top of the jam in the shell and smooth with an offset knife.
  • Sprinkle the flattened top of the filling with the sliced almonds.
  • Reduce oven heat to 355F. Bake 25-35 minutes until top is golden and a toothpick or skewer inserted into the center of the tart comes out clean. Let the tart cool in the pan until completely cool.
  • When ready to serve, sift confectioners sugar over tart.

Provided by Orlando Murrin

Categories     Dessert, Dinner, Lunch, Supper

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 13

200g plain flour
25ml semolina (to give extra crunch)
100g unsalted butter , diced
1 tbsp caster sugar
1 egg , beaten
140g golden caster sugar
140g ground almonds
140g butter , melted
1 egg plus 1 egg yolk
2 tbsp kirsch or Armagnac
500g cherries , stones removed
2 tbsp cherry conserve
crème fraîche , optional, to serve

Steps:

  • To make the pastry, process the flour (or flour and semolina, which gives it extra crunch) and butter, then add the sugar, followed by the beaten egg and just enough water (about 2 tbsp) to form a dough. Shape into a disc, wrap in cling film and leave to rest in the fridge for 20 mins.
  • Meanwhile, to make the filling, place the sugar, ground almonds, butter, egg and egg yolk in a bowl and mix to make a creamy paste. Stir in the kirsch or Armagnac. Chill for at least 20 mins.
  • Heat oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Roll the pastry out onto a floured surface and use to line a 23cm loose-bottomed tart tin. Fill with lightly greased foil and baking beans and bake for 20-25 mins, removing foil after 15 mins, until golden. Spread the almond paste onto the base of the pastry and bake for 25 mins until golden and crisp. When the tart comes out of the oven, arrange the cherries on top in a single layer. Heat the cherry conserve with 1 tbsp water until smooth, then brush over the cherries. Leave to cool before removing from the tin. Cut into wedges to serve, adding a spoonful of crème fraîche if you like.

Time 2h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup/125 grams all-purpose flour
1/4 cup/45 grams granulated sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons/86 grams chilled unsalted butter, in small pieces
1 egg yolk beaten with 2 teaspoons water
1 cup/4 ounces/112 grams sliced natural (raw) almonds, more for sprinkling
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/2 cup/90 grams granulated sugar
4 ounces/1 stick/112 grams unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 eggs
1 teaspoon almond extract
12 ounces/350 grams pitted cherries (about 1 3/4 cups)
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting

Steps:

  • Make the tart dough: Combine flour, sugar and salt in a mixing bowl. Work in butter thoroughly. Stir in egg yolk mixture and knead briefly until dough is smooth, then form into a flat disk.
  • Roll dough to a large circle and lay it in a 10-inch/23-centimeter fluted tart pan with a removable bottom. Press in well (patch any cracks with extra dough). Refrigerate or freeze for 1 hour.
  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. Blind bake tart shell until lightly browned, about 15 minutes. (You do not need to cover the shell or use pie weights.)
  • Meanwhile, make the filling: Put almonds, flour and sugar in work bowl of food processor and grind to a rough powder. Add butter and pulse until well incorporated. Add eggs and almond extract and process until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes. (Alternatively, use ground almonds and make batter with a mixer instead.)
  • Pour almond batter into prebaked shell and smooth with a spatula. Press cherries into batter in a single layer. Sprinkle with a handful of sliced almonds. Lower oven temperature to 375 degrees and bake until golden, 30 to 40 minutes. (An inserted skewer should come out clean.) Cool on a rack and remove outer rim of tart pan. Place tart on a serving dish and dust with confectioners' sugar.
