Cómo hacer Tarta de Santiago

Por qué empezar aquí

Tarta de Santiago belongs to the everyday cooking of Galicia, where it is made often enough that nobody needs the recipe written down. This home version keeps the seasoning direct and the portions generous, the way a Spanish family cook puts it on the table.

Tarta de Santiago is a beloved staple in Galicia, Spain, with roots deep in the region's culinary tradition. Often prepared without a written guide, this cake finds its place on everyday tables, cherished by those who know its flavors by heart. Generous in portion and direct in its seasoning, it is as much a part of Galician life as the landscape itself. Expect a moist, dense texture with the sweet richness of marcona almonds, complemented by the subtle brightness of lemon and warmth of cinnamon. Topped with a delicate dusting of confectioners' sugar in the shape of the Cross of Saint James, it is both visually and flavorfully satisfying.
