A traditional dessert from the capital of Galicia, Santiago de Compostela. The cake was named after the patron saint of Spain, Saint Santiago (Apostle James), so its main decoration is the imprint of the saint's symbol, a cross in the shape of a blade, on a powdered surface. The filling includes almonds, sugar and beaten eggs. And to make the already rich taste more refined, orange juice, lemon zest and cinnamon are added. Delicate consistency, pleasant almond aroma, memorable taste. Best served with a glass of sweet sherry.
