For a richer flavor, use brown butter in the frangipane. Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat and cook until it turns a nutty brown color. Let it cool slightly before using. Make sure your butter is properly softened for a smooth frangipane. The Bakewell Slice can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a 8x12-inch rimmed baking pan with parchment paper. (5 minutes)
02
StepRoll out pastry dough thinly to fit the baking pan and press over the bottom. Cover with parchment paper and fill with dried beans or pie weights for blind baking. (10 minutes)
03
StepBake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove the parchment and beans from the baked pastry and bake until pastry has a golden color, about 5 minutes more. Set aside to cool completely. (20 minutes)
04
StepSpread raspberry jam evenly over the cooled pastry base. (5 minutes)
05
StepIn a large bowl, cream together softened butter and 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar with an electric mixer until pale and fluffy. (7 minutes)
06
StepAdd eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in lemon juice, almond extract, and lemon zest and beat until well combined. (5 minutes)
07
StepGently fold in ground almonds until just combined. (3 minutes)
08
StepSpoon the almond filling evenly over the raspberry jam layer and smooth the top with the back of a spoon. Sprinkle sliced almonds evenly over the top. (5 minutes)
09
StepBake in the preheated oven until the filling is golden brown on top and feels firm to the touch, approximately 30 to 35 minutes. If the pastry edges begin to brown too quickly, cover loosely with aluminum foil. (35 minutes)
10
StepRemove from oven and allow to cool completely in the pan before dusting generously with confectioners' sugar. Cut into squares or slices and serve. (60 minutes)
