    5. Remove from the oven and lower the heat to 160ºC/310ºF/gas 2½.
    6. Spread the frangipane over the pastry and stud with the plums and flaked almonds. Bake for 30 minutes, then allow to cool slightly.
    7. Combine the icing ingredients in a bowl and mix until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled tart, then serve.
