[Laxie]

Can't believe not one person said sour cream or creme fraiche

[Jon MW]

OK

Wikipedia says

The tart version consists of a shortcrust pastry shell, spread with jam and covered with a sponge-like filling enriched with ground almonds (known as frangipane). They may also be covered with nuts such as almonds and peanuts. Alternative flavours, including blackcurrant, strawberry and apple are also produced.

A Cherry Bakewell is a variation of the tart where the frangipane is covered with a top layer of almond flavoured icing and a single half glacé cherry, also known as a Bakewell Cake.

Recipes abound, for example those given by Eliza Acton (1845) and Mrs Beeton (1861), and modern commercial examples are to be found in most cake shops and on every supermarket shelf. The name only became common in the 20th century

For the record I am agreeing with QM and against the budgie

You can make a Bakewell Cake, but it's not the same as a Bakewell Tart

I'm pretty sure Laxie's diary said the original recipe contained fromage fraise but she took it out as a friend didn't like it...actually I think Laxie said she didn't take it out but told her friend she did...am I allowed to check this...

how else are you supposed to make pies?  of course you bake them, they don't cook so well when they are boiled or fried!

[The-Crow]

New York cheese cake always has Lemon in it
