Tarta de Santiago

A sumptuous almond-flour cake from the region of Galicia. This naturally gluten-free dessert combines ground almonds, eggs, sugar, lemon zest, and a touch of cinnamon to create a moist, flavorful treat. Its simplicity and rich flavor make it a popular choice for coffee breaks or as a sweet ending to a meal.

Traditionally, the cake is topped with a stencil of the Cross of Saint James, dusted with powdered sugar to create a distinctive design. This decoration not only adds visual appeal but also connects the cake to its roots as a symbol of the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage.
