About the bake

Method
Step 1:
Grease a 23cm x 2.5cm deep loose bottomed tart tin with butter.
Step 2:
For the pastry, sieve the flour in a bowl, add the butter and rub together with your fingertips until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Stir the egg yolk and water then bring the pastry together with your hands.
Step 3:
Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface and line the tin, leaving a little pastry overhanging to allow for any shrinkage when it is cooked. Finally prick the base and sides of the pastry with a fork.
Step 4:
Line the pastry case with parchment paper and fill with baking beans then chill in the fridge for about 15 minutes.
Step 5:
Meanwhile put a baking tray on the bottom shelf of the oven and preheat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas mark 6. When ready, bake the pastry case for 15 minutes on the hot baking tray, then take the beans out and cook for a further 5 minutes. Allow the pastry case to cool slightly, then trim off any excess pastry using a sharp knife.
Step 6:
To prepare the filling, cream together the butter and Truvia for Baking Caster until light and fluffy. Add the flour, ground almonds, eggs and almond essence and mix until combined.
Step 7:
Gently spread the jam over the cooled pastry case then top with the cake mixture and level off with a spatula so that the filling is evenly distributed over the base. Press the fresh raspberries into the mixture then sprinkle over the flaked almonds.
Step 8:
Turn the oven down to 180C/ 160C Fan/Gas mark 4 and bake in the oven for about 30-35 minutes until the sponge is golden, well risen and firm to touch. Allow to cool slightly, then remove from the tin to cool completely on a wire rack.
Step 9:
Dust with Truvia for Baking Icing before serving.
