A classic Bakewell tart recipe but without the full icing and cherry on top. Made with a golden layer of shortcrust pastry filled with a delicious frangipane, fruity jam and topped with delicate icing.

Instructions

  • Pre-het oven at 170°c Fan oven. Line your trays with baking paper.
  • Roll out your pastry to about 3mm thickness and place on your baking trays. Lightly prick the bases with a fork but don't go through.
  • Slightly warm your jam so it's easy to spread and divide the jam evenly over the pastry.
  • Place all the frangipane ingredients in a bowl and beat together until smooth and creamy. Distribute the cream mixture evenly over the jam.
  • Bake in the oven for about 25 minutes or until golden brown. Cool in tray for a few minutes then transfer to wire rack by carefully lifting the baking paper at the sides to completely cool.
  • Meanwhile mix your icing sugar with a little water and place in a piping bag.
  • Decorate your traybake with your bag of icing. Let is set then cut into squares.
