Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and lightly grease a tart tin.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and icing sugar.

Step 3

Add in the vegan butter and mix until you achieve a breadcrumb-like consistency.

Step 4

Add 2 tbsp of cold water and mix until a dough forms. Wrap the dough in cling film and refrigerate for 15 minutes.

Step 5

Roll out the pastry dough on a floured surface and line the prepared tart tin. Trim the edges and prick the base with a fork.

Step 6

Bake the pastry blind for 10 minutes using parchment paper and baking beans, then remove the beans and paper, and bake for another 5 minutes.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix the flaxseed meal with 3 tbsp of water. Let it sit for 5 minutes to thicken.

Step 8

In a separate bowl, combine the ground almonds, caster sugar, almond milk, vanilla extract, and almond extract.

Step 9

Stir in the thickened flaxseed mixture to form a smooth frangipane batter.

Step 10

Spread the cherry jam evenly over the base of the baked pastry shell.

Step 11

Pour the almond frangipane batter over the cherry jam layer, smoothing out the top.

Step 12

Sprinkle the flaked almonds over the frangipane.

Step 13

Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until the top is golden and set.

Step 14

Allow to cool before removing from the tin. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature.
