Vegan raspberry bakewell tart (gluten free)

La De Da! Well, have I got a delicious recipe for you?

A nutty base, the most gorgeous gooey almond filing, fresh tart raspberries and a layer of raspberry jam.

Oh, my goodness, it’s good.

What memories does this recipe conjure up for me?

Little Mr Kipling Bakewell tarts, which I used to wolf down given the chance when I was little. I’m not sure if they were very healthy, but I remember and love their almondy deliciousness.

In fact, I’m sure they started my love for frangipane and all almond based desserts, that’s no bad thing 😉

My version is just as rich and almondy, but happily it’s homemade with natural whole ingredients and refined sugar-free.

I tested this recipe out on lots of my friends (willing victims), it got a very big thumbs up all round!

I hope you enjoy, love Niki xx

  • 1 tsp coconut sugar
  • 1 1/2 tbsp neutral oil–I used rapeseed

For the filling

  • 2 flax eggs–2 tbsp ground flax–6 tbsp water mix in a bowl and leave for a few minutes
  • 3/4 cup coconut sugar
  • 1/2 cup dairy free butter

  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • Zest 1/2 lemon

To make the tart

Instructions

To make the filling

  • Make up the flax eggs and allow to stand for a few minutes
  • Cream together the butter, sugar and almond essence. Stir in the flax eggs.
  • In a large bowl, mix ground almonds, buckwheat and baking powder. Transfer the butter mix to the dry ingredients. Mix to combine thoroughly. Mix in the lemon zest.

To make the tart

  • Firstly, make the almond meal by adding the nuts to a mini chopper or blender and blitzing until you get a fine meal. Or use pre ground almonds.
  • Make the flax egg by mixing the ground flax and water in a bowl–set aside to thicken.
  • Grease a round, loose bottom pie pan with oil.
  • Add all the dry ingredients to a large bowl and mix to combine. Then add in the oil, almond milk and flax egg. Mix throughly to form a dough.
  • Transfer the dough to the pie pan and use your fingers to press into the bottom and up the sides. Poke a few holes with a fork across the bottom.
  • Bake tart for 10 minutes on Gas Mark 4/180c. Remove from the oven. Allow the tart base to cool a little.
  • Layer the jam across the bottom of the tart, then add in the frangipane filling. Top with raspberries and press in a little.
  • Sprinkle a few flaked almonds.
  • Bake for 40-55 minutes or until your filling puffed up and is set. Remove from the oven and allow to cool and before removing the tart pan.
  • Delicious served warm with vegan Icecream or cold with a cup of tea.

    Hi Niki,

    Would you recommend using coconut oil for the tart base, and also thawed frozen raspberries for the filling? Thanks!

      Hi Kathleen
      I think that coconut oil should be ok for the base but I wouldn’t recommend using thawed frozen raspberries as I fear there would be too much moisture.

    Hello,

    Can I use only buckwheat flour for the crust, or I have to mix it with the oat flour?

      Hi Stely
      You can definitely use just buckwheat flour – just as delicious!

    Hi! Can I use eggs instead of flaxseeds? Will the result be the same? Is the cake dry or moist? Thanks!

    This recipe looks amazing!

    Do you think I could make it with strawberries (I have a huge basket full right now and want to make a cake with them) or would the texture get weird? Maybe if I add them on top after baking the filling?

    Also how big is your pie pan?

      Hi Franny
      I think that strawberries would be lovely, I’d just chop them up a little.
      Enjoy xx

    I’d really love to try this!

    Please explain what flax eggs are?

    Thank you!

    I’ll of course exchange sea salt for desert salt

      Hey Samantha
      Flax eggs are a vegan egg substitute. They act as a binding agent.
      Let me know how you get on!

      Hi Kim
      Yes absolutely, you can use any flour of your choice.
      I just like buckwheat for its nutty flavour and that it’s naturally gluten free.

      Keep me posted.
      Love, Niki xx
