Delicious Spanish almond cake or famously known as tarta de Santiago. This is a cake from Galicia and it is super easy to make, with only 3 main ingredients. I always feel this type of cake is just perfect for the holiday season.

## Notes

* As I mentioned earlier, this cake is dusted with icing sugar with an imprint of Santiago's cross on its top surface. You can also make an imprint of a scallop shell. Or with no imprint at all. Your choice. |
