Super Soft Tart with Nuts and Jam.
A tart with a super soft base, enriched by a good jam and a cascade of nuts. A truly unique and tasty tart!
This idea comes from a special memory: my mother-in-law used to buy me this tart with a simple yet delicious taste when I was young and had lunch at her place. I wanted to recreate it, and the taste brought me back in time.
Very easy to make, I used my oil-based shortcrust pastry as the base. I chose cherry jam, but you can use your favorite! To decorate, I used almonds, pine nuts, and walnuts. A real explosion of flavors.
Let’s start baking…

Ingredients for the tart with jam and nuts
With these quantities, I made two tarts, one about 9.5-10 inches and the other about 7 inches.
- 2 1/2 cups flour (I use spelt flour)
- 1/2 cup sugar (I use whole cane sugar)
- 1 tsp baking powder (Generous)
- 2 eggs
- 5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (or seed or corn oil)
Steps for the tart with jam and nuts
In a bowl, pour the flour and add the two eggs. Mix with a fork.
Then, add the sugar and the sifted baking powder, and mix.
Gradually add the oil while continuing to mix with the fork as much as possible.
Finally, knead with your hands until you achieve a soft and homogeneous dough.
I spread the dough directly onto a sheet of parchment paper with my hands, but if you prefer, you can use a rolling pin. The thickness of the shortcrust pastry should not be too thin to ensure the base’s softness.
Filling:
Spread a generous layer of cherry jam (or your preferred flavor) over the base.
Distribute the nuts (almonds, pine nuts, and walnuts) on top.
Note: As you can see in the photos below, you can also decorate one tart with jam and nuts, and the other with hazelnut cream.
The balls you see on top of the tart are not hazelnuts; they are made from leftover shortcrust pastry, formed into simple balls with the palm of your hands.
Bake the tart in a preheated static oven at 350°F for about 30 minutes. The tart will be ready when golden on the edges and surface.
The super soft tart with nuts and jam is ready to be enjoyed! I hope you liked this recipe, rich in simplicity and memories. See you next time!
