---Dessert #2 Bakewell Tart---
The Bakewell tart is a jam pastry with an egg and ground almond enriched filling.
The origins of the tart are not clear, however the generally accepted story is that it was first made by accident in 1820 when the landlady of the White Horse Inn left instructions for her cook to make a jam tart. The cook, instead of stirring the eggs and almond paste mixture into the pastry, spread it on top of the jam. When cooked the jam rose through the paste. The result was successful enough for it to become a popular dish at the inn.
The name of the dessert is believed to have come from a customer who decided that the tart was "baked well" thus the inn called it their "Bakewell" tart, a pun on the town of Bakewell in England and a well baked tart.
Cache is a camo'd film sized container. BYOP.
