My OperaDaring Bakers - June 2009

Good Lord, it's Daring Bakers time again! And I have only 3 recipes this month! Shame on me...
Sorry, guys, this was a crazy month for me and I'm still recovering from it.
This will be only a short post today, and tomorrow I'll leave the recipes! I promisse!
The June Daring Bakers' challenge was hosted by Jasmine of Confessions of a Cardamom Addict and Annemarie of Ambrosia and Nectar. They chose a Traditional (UK) Bakewell Tart... er... pudding that was inspired by a rich baking history dating back to the 1800's in England.
Just to let you know, Bakewell Tarts are tarts made from a short-crust (pâte sucrée) filled with a layer of a fruit jam or any other sweet spread, and then, covered with a thick layer of Frangipane, a cake-like layer, made of almond meal.
The final result? A delicious tart, with the right amount of sweetness from the jam, and a great texture and balance from the frangipane, held together by a thin layer of crust! Just lovely!
I made two versions: a large one, shown in the above picture, filled with Guava Marmelade, and mini tarts, which will be shown tomorrow, filled with strawberry jam.
