Bakewell Pudding

Bakewell Pudding is a traditional British dessert originating from the town of Bakewell. It consists of a buttery almond filling made with sweetened ground almonds, eggs, and butter, topped with a layer of raspberry jam. The filling is spread over a shortcrust pastry base, then finished with another pastry layer or a crumble topping. Often served warm or at room temperature, it offers a rich, nutty flavor balanced by the sweetness of the jam. The pudding embodies a harmonious blend of fruity, nutty, and pastry textures, making it a distinctive and beloved regional specialty.
