Vegan Bakewell Tart with Raspberry Jam

A major challenge in plant-based baking is creating egg-free shortcrust and airy almond cream. This recipe solves it brilliantly: coconut oil gives the crust crunch, while almond cream becomes light with baking powder and plant milk. The flavor experience is 100% authentic, without compromise.

Instructions

1

For crust, crumble cold coconut oil with flour and salt, then add water. Knead quickly and refrigerate for 15 mins.

Tip: Coconut oil must be cold to melt during baking, creating layers.
2

Roll out dough, line tin, prick. Spread bottom with jam.

Tip: Jam layer 'insulates' dough from the cream.
3

For filling, mix almond flour, baking powder, plant milk, vanilla, and syrup into a thick batter.

Tip: Baking powder replaces egg's lifting effect here (Chemical leavening).
4

Pour batter over jam, then press raspberries into it.

Tip: Raspberry acidity pairs great with sweet almond.
5

Bake at 350°F (180°C) for 30-35 mins until top is golden and springy to touch.

Tip: Cover with foil if browning too fast.
6

Let cool completely in tin. May crumble if warm!

Recipe FAQ

Why does the crust crumble?
Vegan shortcrust is more delicate as it lacks egg white to bind. Let cool completely in the tin before slicing!
