It is closely associated with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.galiciatips.com\/en\/camino-de-santiago-way-of-st-james\/\">Camino de Santiago<\/a> and the city of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.galiciatips.com\/en\/destinations\/santiago-de-compostela\/\">Santiago de Compostela<\/a>, where pilgrims enjoy the cake after completing their spiritual journey. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first mention of the cake was in 1577 when it was mentioned as &#8216;bizcocho de almendra&#8217;. In this time almond flour became a key ingredient, a testament to the Moorish influence on Spanish cuisine. <br>The first recipe of the cake is found in a book dated from 1838. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, you can directly recognise the cake due to the decorated cross of Saint James on top of it. This decoration has not always been there. The origin of the cross being decorated on the cake dates to 1924 when the &#8220;Casa Mora&#8221; began to adorn the almond cakes with the silhouette.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2006 the EU gave the Tarta de Santiago a protected status as a tipical geographical product. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Make Tarta de Santiago<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This cake is wonderfully simple to prepare and requires just a handful of ingredients. Its gluten-free nature makes it accessible to many, while its rich almond flavor and delicate texture ensure it\u2019s a hit with everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Recipe for Tarta de Santiago<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ingredients:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>350g almond flour<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>250g granulated sugar<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>6 eggs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Zest of 1 lemon<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1\/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Powdered sugar for decoration<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Instructions:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Preheat your oven to 170\u00b0C (340\u00b0F) and grease a 23cm (9-inch) round cake pan.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar together until light and frothy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Gradually mix in the almond flour, lemon zest, and cinnamon (if using) until you have a smooth batter.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the surface.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bake for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Allow the cake to cool completely before removing it from the pan.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Place a stencil of the Cross of Saint James on top and dust generously with powdered sugar.
