Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams all-purpose flour
- 200 grams unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 50 grams powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 300 grams strawberry jam
- 100 grams sliced almonds
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 50 grams almond flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 9x13-inch (23x33 cm) baking pan with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, powdered sugar, and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter.
Using a pastry cutter, two knives, or your fingertips, rub the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking pan and press it evenly into the base to form the shortbread layer.
Bake the shortbread layer in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.
Spread the strawberry jam evenly over the baked shortbread layer, leaving a small border around the edges.
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and slightly frothy.
Gently fold in the almond flour and baking powder until well combined.
Pour the almond mixture over the strawberry jam layer and spread it out evenly.
Sprinkle the sliced almonds generously over the top of the almond mixture.
Return the pan to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the almond topping is golden-brown and set.
Let the strawberry almond slice cool completely in the pan before lifting out using the parchment paper.
Cut into 12 equal squares or rectangles and serve. Enjoy!
