Useful to know

Bakewell tart combines a pastry base, jam and an almond layer in this British recipe. These are distinct structural components rather than one mixed filling. [1]

Look for their order in a slice. Replacing the almond part with more jam will not preserve the same bake. When changing tins, compare total filling depth rather than only the crust’s diameter.
