0 Vegan Bakewell Slice Recipe

A bakewell tart recipe is a traditional British sweet.

Bakewells consist of a pastry bottom spread with jam then topped with an almond filling and baked, the bakewell is then spread with a thick sugar icing and glazed cherries.

A bakewell slice recipe is also know as an almond slice recipe.

A bakewell tart is cooked like a pie and a bakewell slice is cooked in a long tray then cut into slices.

Eggs normally plays a big part in the almond filling of any bakewell recipe but my vegan eggless bakewell recipe tastes just as good without egg.

I use my vegan shortcrust pastry for the bottom of the slice.

It is traditional that apricot jam is used in a bakewell recipe.

You will find that I use apricot jam alongside almonds in any recipe that uses almonds and jam as the combination is so fantastic.

As well as posting this full step-by-step recipe for a bakewell slice I have also made a video for this recipe.
