Recipe author note: "I have read that a few people like this with a more textured taste so they add frangipane. I personally like it how it is as it is so simple, however, I have included an optional section to make frangipane in the ingredients, if you wish to do so.

Method
-
step 1
Preheat the oven to 200C before starting.
-
step 2
Unroll your packet of ready-rolled pastry and mark out 12 squares with a knife on a baking tray with greaseproof paper, place 6 and these will be the base.
-
step 3
On the 6 bottoms, spread a small layer of jam, don't use too much because it will run away.
-
step 4
If you are using the frangipane, mix all of the above ingredients together to make a smooth paste. Add a small amount in a blob in the middle of each pastry base (if you would like to be more adventurous you can add sliced strawberry, blueberries, whatever takes your fancy)
-
step 5
Place the remaining pieces of pastry on top of the pastry bases on the tray and squash down a little, then place in the oven for 20 minutes or depending on the oven type until it has a nice golden colour, then take out and set aside to cool
-
step 6
Whilst the pastry is cooling, this is the time to make the icing. Sift into a bowl and add 4 tablespoons at a time to the sugar and mix. The mixture should then start to thicken up and make a paste, keep stirring this to keep it manageable. When the pastry has cooled down, then spoon the icing sugar onto the tops until all have a layer.
-
step 7
Now is the time to sprinkle the coconut on top and here you have very easy cakes that you can do with children.
