Bakewell tart with sponge on top instead of ground almonds?

[Bakingnovice]

Is this possible? I hate ground almonds so can I just use a 100g of sr flour/sugar/butter 2 egg sponge recipe on top of the pastry?

never made one, so I don't know, but would you try copped walnuts pistacchioes or hazelnuts instead? or coconuts? I'm sure any of those would be fine, or a mix of them

Baking novice, ground almonds gives it a different texture, more dense, but i guess you could always just bake ordinary sponge and use essense to give the bakewell flavour .

Thanks some good ideas. Nanny, it's not really a bakewell tart really without the almonds, it's just a jam tart. I think I might go ahead and try it with ground almonds but do half almonds half flour do the almond flavour is not too powerful.

You could substitute either semolina or ground rice for the almonds to get a similar texture.

Without almonds it will be what my granny used to call a brama cake. Will be fine, but not a bake well tart.
