Bakewell Tarts have been one of the most popular British desserts for centuries. They are small tarts that are made with a layer of jam and a layer of almond frangipane.

These tarts are perfect for entertaining family and friends, and can be made ahead of time and kept in the freezer until needed.

1.	Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
2.	Mix the yellow cake mix until it forms a soft dough.
3.	Roll out the pastry and line 12 tartlet pans.
4.	Spoon 2 tablespoons of strawberry jam into each tartlet pan.
5.	Divide the cake dough evenly between the tartlet pans.
6.	Bake for 20-25 minutes until the tarts are lightly golden brown.
