Raspberry Almond Tart

My latest "creation"...a Raspberry Almond Tart...finally got some use out of that tart pan! :) It's very yummy!!




Here's the recipe (http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Raspberry-Almond-Tart/Detail.aspx):

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 cup sugar, divided
  • 1 cup butter or margarine, divided
  • 3 eggs, divided
  • 1/2 cup raspberry jam, divided
  • 1 cup ground almonds
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice

DIRECTIONS:

1. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder and 1/3 cup sugar. Cut in 1/2 cup butter until fine crumbs form. Beat 1 egg; add to mixing bowl and stir until dry ingredients are moistened. Press dough evenly into bottom and up the sides of 9-in. x 1-1/2-in. tart pan with removable bottom. Spread 1/4 cup of jam over dough. Cover with plastic wrap and chill.

2. Meanwhile, cream together remaining sugar and butter; stir in almonds and extract. Add remaining eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition; spoon filling over jam. Bake at 350 degrees F for 50 minutes. Cool in pan, then carefully remove sides from pan. Spread remaining jam on top. Combine confectioners' sugar and lemon juice; drizzle over the top.

  2. You can probably make it without a tart pan, but they have that nifty bottom that lifts out of the pan...I got mine at either Ross or TJ Maxx for $3.99. You could make it in a springform pan probably, but if you didn't care about removing it from the pan you could just use a 9-in cake pan I guess. :)

    I love AllRecipes.com!! That's where I got this recipe. I did add the icing after the picture was taken, but it's not really necessary and doesn't add a whole lot to it. It's kind of a pain too.

  4. OK...so I couldn't find a good recipe for a tart online and I really want a tart. Finally, I had to go to my OWN blog to get one.
