The Bakewell tart is a traditional British dessert originating from the town of Bakewell in the Peak District, England. It consists of a shortcrust pastry shell filled with layers of jam and frangipane—a sweet almond-flavoured custard—topped with flaked almonds.
This dessert is a variant of the earlier Bakewell pudding, both of which are closely associated with Bakewell in Derbyshire.
