I watched Glen scrape the rubber spatula with the offset spatula and thought huh I figured he would just eat the batter on the spatula - then he did. My kind of guy. Great video! Thanks.
Well, it's required that you taste before sticking the pan in the oven. What if you used salt instead of sugar by accident! You must lick the spoon/spatula!
When I have a thick layer of something like frangipane that's difficult to work with, I spread it out to the proper size on a sheet of parchment paper, then flip it over on top of batter, and peel off the parchment paper. It usually works.
Changes coming? Only for more... More Julie, more videos, more old cookbook shows, more Chicken 🐱🐾🐾👏My favorite food creator can't leave me stranded. Maybe some restaurant and manufacturing tours; things I enjoy a great deal. Even food/travel videos or vlogs. Flying cookie tastings? I'm in. Thank you, Glen, for consistently providing wonderful, educational and entertaining videos. And if Julie wants to join you in the kitchen or reveal her super power, I'd love to have the opportunity to get to know her better. Shows camping in the Canadian wilderness, remote areas accessible only by float plane! Yes! I'd love that too. God bless you and Julie, whichever direction you go. 💖✝
bonne maman cherry jam is the best!! you can tell what it is, just by the jar/lid!! i love reusing those jars when the jam is all gone. greets from hamilton.
I think this video perfectly illustrates how accessible baking is. I feel like so many people get hung up on this notion that baking is an exact science, when it really isn't. Unless you're a pro, or are going for perfect repeatability and consistency, close enough is usually close enough. If baking truly was an exact science, all recipes would be written in grams, and they wouldn't have nice round numbers.
My grandmother had sour cherry trees, and we loved them. My mother made the best jams and pies from them when we lived close to her (my ages 6-7 years). To this day (my age, mid 60’s), I don’t care for cherry products I can buy because I miss the tartness and the flavor. Enjoy your cherries!
I think I’d like that much better, this looks good but I think it would be overly sweet for my taste as-is, the tartness of the rhubarb would balance it nicely.
@@SusanDavidson-h3e No not really. W clean them, and if needed remove the thready back fibres, might soak them in water a little if they are a bit dry. I will warn you this is more tart than what most Americans would be used to. Ya'll are using way more sugar than what we Swedes use. Just follow Glenns recipe and substitute the jellyJam with raw rhubarb.
Glen, thanks for “taking one for the team” and swapping in some brown sugar. I’m of the opinion brown sugar makes everything better. I’m thinking of two combos I’d like to try using my favorites: apricot/raspberry and peach/raspberry (that traditional peach melba combo). You are spoiling us with easy cakes.
My grandmother used to make something similar when I was young, the big difference was she used to par bake the bottom layer before adding the jam and the almond layer. Usually she used store bought strawberry or raspberry jam in it.
In the UK (and I daresay some other countries too) a coffee cake is a cake that contains coffee as an ingredient not something to be eaten with a cup of coffee. We do have tea breads though which are cakes in a variety of flavours, are baked in a loaf tin and generally served with a hot beverage of choice (contrary to popular belief, not everyone in the UK drinks tea).
Lol, I just found out I've probably developed an allergy to cherries (ate cherries last night, had a pretty significant reaction) - I laughed out loud when I saw the notification for this video 😂 And cherry jam is my favourite, too - I'm crossing my fingers that I'm only sensitive to raw stonefruit. I've wanted to make a bakewell tart for a few years now but have never gotten around to it. They remind me a lot of Swedish mazariner (individual tarts with shortcrust pastry and an almond paste filling), which I really love.
I saw bakewell and I thought of the tart and the cocktail, and I knew this would be good. And from what I see it will be awesome. Its going on the fridge door to male.
@@anna9072 that’s what I was thinking. I’m planning to hit a couple of farmers markets tomorrow to see what I can find. I need some tart cherries for a Cherry Bomb pepper hot sauce I’m making anyway.
I made this today using King Arthur's measure for measure flour (celiac member of the household) and it came out amazing. Neither of us had tasted a GF cake that was so moist, soft, and airy. So many GF cakes turn out dense. I'm eager to try this again with different fruit jams as well. Thanks for a great recipe, Glenn, this one is staying in the rotation!
🎉amen! i discovered guava jam a couple years ago (aztec man😊) and i said to myself (expat canadian) WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL MY LIFE?...said the same about passion fruit now growing in my yard... we have this guava jam from the mexican tienda that goes on the full fat greek yogurt, that is when passion fruit is out of season. HOWEVER...the absolute BEST dutch apple pies come from our local walmart...LOL! "product of canada"
In Poland we've got tons of variation of those, but always yeasted instead of baking soda/powder. We use whatever the fruits we have, mostly strawberries, plums, red currant and RHUBARB which is my fav
For the frangipani layer you just roll it between two sheets of parchment or wax paper to fit the pan dimensions and then turn it out on top. Thank you for showing the metric weights of the ingredients. As soon as I heard "bakewell" I knew this was British.
I wonder... If you threw the frangipane in the fridge for a bit, would it firm up enough that you could roll it out instead of trying to dollop and spread?
Yes, I was thinking rhubarb too and it just so happens I’ve made a batch of my homemade strawberry rhubarb jam recently so I shall be trying this delicious looking cake with my own preserves soon. Glen’s recipes are always tried and true - I’ve never failed with them. A favourite I’ve made a few times is the Grasmere shortbread, which reminds me I’ve been craving that lately.
Wonderful looking cake! As you said, any jam will work. I would absolutely add almond extract to the frangipane. But then, I’m crazy about almond flavor anything.
In the western upper peninsula of Michigan, there is a berry that grows wild like a weed. Thimble berries are very tart but they have lots of pectin so they are super easy to make jam with. They are related to raspberrys The berries grow on the sides of roads and railroad tracks so they are easy to get. Nobody cultivates them as far as I know. The tart nature of the jam makes it pair well with sweet things like pound cake. It would probably work great in this recipe.
Definitely try making a Bakewell tart! It’s my favourite kind of tart! I usually make them with raspberries but blueberries are tasty too, rhubarb works well, even pears (I usually add a few berries too with the pears)! Yum!!
I used canned cherry pie filling instead of jam because that was all I had. It worked nicely, though I had to bake the cake an extra 5 minutes or so to account for the extra moisture. I brought it to my church’s coffee hour today and people gobbled it up, especially the edge pieces that are extra crispy/chewy.
Bakewell tarts are so nice but I'm very not a pie guy so I love a cake version. Last time I made one, I made an apple tart, and a mango jelly one. So good
I do this thing called (translated from spanish) "poor man's jam" where I take basically anything that's starting to go iffy and turn it into a jam. Tomato surprisingly works well in these as it's ultimately a fruit. I mention this cause it's acidic, so might work quite well in this. I am going to make it with the latest jam I made (mix of peach, strawberry and tomato) and post the results.
Throughout this video, I kept thinking about the English tv show from the '70s, *Come Back, Mrs. Noah!", starring Molly Sugden. The title character won a baking contest with her recipe for a bake well tart (I don't remember if it was cherry), and the prize was a prelaunch tour of a space station. Well, as they say, "Hilarity ensues..." So, Glen, if you do make a bake well tart (which of course would be prize worthy), don't go touring any experimental space stations!😉 Thank you for the video!
Glad I watched entire video before starting to ask my questions as they were answered for the most part… lolmy grandmother woukdve loved this cake!!! I’ll be subbing raspberry jam as I prefer it… and was thinking to add sone shredded coconut on top as well… this would be so nice with a cup of tea… 😀
Traditionally a Bakewell has Raspberry jam, which I liked to strain, as I don't like pips! Yes, you need to try a proper Bakewell Tart, they are just about my favourite cake, you wouldn't want brown sugar! It is a bit of a palaver, as you need a really rich almond pastry base, then the jam, but it is so worth it. Probably better the next day, or warm with ice cream for a dessert. - I like the sound of rhubarb in this cake & I'd double the frangipan!!
Frangipane or Marzipan any of those almond based items are gawwdgeous. This looks so good Glen. Maybe one-day I will get around to that one too. Rhubarb is great idea as long as it doesn't over power my precious almond flavours. They are delicate. Growing up with Dutch friends there was always almond based desserts around.
I enjoy your channel very much one of the channels got us through lock down here in cornwall uk just going shopping with buy sough cream for first time to make this cake. thank you for your hard work great channel!
It looked like the batter was getting overmixed, from what I've seen Glenn say in past videos. But he did mention the sour cream made it tender. Id love to see one of his testing videos about overmixing flour.
I would have put a few dollops of jam\compote on the cake. then spread the frangipane on some wax paper. flip the paper over onto the cake to lay the frangipane onto the cake. Then add a few more dollops of jam\compote on top with the slivered almonds. doing the jam\compote above and below the frangipane would allow some of it to seep into the cake but not all of it.
I watched Glen scrape the rubber spatula with the offset spatula and thought huh I figured he would just eat the batter on the spatula - then he did. My kind of guy. Great video! Thanks.

Brilliant! Why don’t cooking shows suggest that? 🤣
Would it work better if you chilled it on the parchment?
@@jbrecken That’s what I was thinking or chill the dough first and then roll it between parchment sheets?
That's a great idea!
I was literally coming here to say that very thing and was checking to make sure someone had not already suggested it. 🙂
Glen you can take the label off but we still know what brand of jam you’re using 🤣😂
Yep, even from over here in Germany... :D
And it’d be a great sponsor. Decent company, good product. But easily swappable for say, sour Cherry.
@@truepeacenik Agree - The cherry jam he used is great on ice cream, but I think sour would work here.
Must be Smuckers
Haha! Well, it is the best jam you can buy! The only brand I've seen that contains more fruit than sugar! 😋

@@katieallen3927 No guest chefs.
This is my favorite weekend channel!!!
Mine, too! I always look forward to all of Glen's videos, but I especially love the ones on the weekend.
Those particular jam jars make excellent drinking glasses/tumblers
I love sitting down with coffee and Glen and Friends.
I'm from Nova Scotia, definitely have to try this with blueberry jam.
bonne maman cherry jam is the best!! you can tell what it is, just by the jar/lid!! i love reusing those jars when the jam is all gone. greets from hamilton.
Knitters call that kind of magazine "aspirational."
This looks great. PLEASE don't stop doing these videos!
I loved the"carefully measured amounts of vanilla and flour" L0L
I am Midwest American and never heard ofBakewell. This looks amazing. TY so much!

I have 2 tart cherry trees in my back yard. Makes wonderful jam. Tart Cherries in this would be wonderful! I know what I'm making!

We do this type of cake with rhubarbs, like fresh rhubarbs in southern Sweden. It's really nice and the tartness cuts through the sweetness nicely.
@chrisvighagen do you cook the rhubarb first before using it in the recipe, or use diced fresh rhubarb?
I think I’d like that much better, this looks good but I think it would be overly sweet for my taste as-is, the tartness of the rhubarb would balance it nicely.

@@anna9072 Exactly, you are spot on.
Oh come on Jules you do more than taste, you also get the forks!😂. Yes I am going to try this one too!
Apricot jam + almonds = YUM
I love watching Julie and Glen taste testing the recipes.
I thought rhubarb about a second before you said it! Looks lovely and yummy.
ended up doing it with apricot jam, i did add a bit of lemon zest to the cake batter. KAWABONGA, this is so good! A keeper!

I’m thinking of two combos I’d like to try using my favorites: apricot/raspberry and peach/raspberry (that traditional peach melba combo). You are spoiling us with easy cakes.
I bet you could pipe on the frangipane and make it look quite nice for a dinner party or the like
My grandmother used to make something similar when I was young, the big difference was she used to par bake the bottom layer before adding the jam and the almond layer. Usually she used store bought strawberry or raspberry jam in it.
Oh my gosh! I love a Bakewell tart!!!! And I’m from the USA where we are the least influenced by British food. I cannot wait to try this recipe!!!
Fresh peach jam in my refrigerator! I think it may be Sunday breakfast cake. 😋
Still warm: Means add ice cream, or frozen custard.
My mom has been doing a similar cake with rhubarb bits and crumble on top and it's been one of my favorites for years. Cheers from Poland.
Thank you Glen for reinterpreting it for us!!!!🎉
I see this made with peach jam in my future!
coffee is required with the coffee cake... a brewing history episode perhaps?

We do have tea breads though which are cakes in a variety of flavours, are baked in a loaf tin and generally served with a hot beverage of choice (contrary to popular belief, not everyone in the UK drinks tea).

😮😮 A coffee cake like a Bakewell Tart 🥰🥰🥰 This is like a dream !!
"Whatever fruit COMPOST..." popped up on the captions. This is for sure a fine cake recipe. The Frangipan layer helps to make this one!

Greetings from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺
This looks wonderful. I love cherry.
I was told to place the top layer on parchment paper and roll it out then place it on top.
What a great idea, if you want it exceptionally smooth. Thanks 👍

Love that cherry jam. Looks great
Glen, you rock!! 😎👍👍🍻
Ohh Glenn i live in Northern Ontario and the wld blue berries are plentiful now. Guess what I’m trying. Thanks 🫐
I miss living in the North and picking fresh blueberries!
Thanks for the recipe. I make cranberry compote all fall/winter. I can't wait to try this with that! Maybe some orange zest on top. 🤔
Try mixing in some blueberries and blackberries with the cranberries. You're welcome 😊.
My weekend must watch, thanks guys
Im learning a lot of new scientifically backed measuring techniques from this video 😅
It’s Michigan Cherry season currently. I think I’ll have to get some local cherries and give this a shot.
I think I’d like to try this with sour cherries instead of jam, it would balance the sweetness a bit.

Have one in the oven now. I did add a few (reconstituted) dried cherries to the cake layer, under the jam. The house smells wonderful!
Warm cake gooey edges all you need is a little cream. Yummmmmmm
I was in Bakewell last year and I will say I probably ate enough bakewell tart to qualify as an expert. I think I'd like this cake, too.
For the frangipani layer you just roll it between two sheets of parchment or wax paper to fit the pan dimensions and then turn it out on top.
Thank you for showing the metric weights of the ingredients. As soon as I heard "bakewell" I knew this was British.
There are no Metric weights for this recipe. Canada uses Metric, but we chose to use Volume (mL) instead of weight (g).
I wonder... If you threw the frangipane in the fridge for a bit, would it firm up enough that you could roll it out instead of trying to dollop and spread?
I was going to ask if you warm it up would it spread easier? However the clumps look more authentic…
My mom made a similar cake with fresh "Zwegschen" ( a swiss plum). Amazing!

Love how Glen nonchalantly says, adds some butter.... My lipids are exploding :)
I will be trying this with some rhubarb that's in the freezer, can't wait..
you had me at frangipane...LOVE it! and i always carefully measure my vanilla 😜 oh yes! absolutely rhubarb!!! perfect!
It would be great with raspberry jam, but rhubarb sounds so good
That looks ace
Glen love your free pouring vanilla.
Just for giggles I wish you would do a compilation video.
Rhubarb, or sour cherry, ultra tart lemon butter. I have all these. Now I’ll have to get the sour cream and lots of extra butter to make this cake.
I gave the first LIKE....👍
I liked your first like. You know, like, I liked your like like it was like, liked.
Frangipane or Marzipan any of those almond based items are gawwdgeous. This looks so good Glen. Maybe one-day I will get around to that one too.

blackcurrant jam might be tasty!
This would be fantastic with peach jam. Or just canned peach slices.
