Ingredients

- 2 tbsp golden syrup
- 2 tsp almond extract

Method
4 stepsStep 1
Add the ground almonds to a bowl. Finely crumble in the madeira cake and mix well. Add the melted butter, golden syrup, almond extract and 1 tsp lemon juice; stir to make a paste.
Step 2
Mix the strawberry conserve with 1 tsp lemon juice; spread over the base of the pastry case. Spread the almond paste evenly over the jam. Freeze for 5 mins.
Step 3
Mix the icing sugar with the remaining lemon juice and add water – 1 tsp at a time – to make a thick, pourable icing. Reserve 1 tbsp; flood the tart with the rest.
Step 4
Top with the strawberries, then scatter with the flaked toasted almonds. Drizzle over the reserved icing, then grate over some lemon zest. Leave to set. Chill any leftovers.
