Tarta De Santiago

"Three basic ingredients and no electric appliances required: that’s St James’ cake, or tarta de Santiago. It’s a Galician specialty going back to Middle Ages. They bake it in a multitude of pastry shops in Santiago de Compostela, the capital city of Galicia which is the destination of famous Christian pilgrimage route through Northern Spain. Simple as James the patron saint of pilgrims, the only thing fancy on it is St James' cross adornment stencilled with icing sugar atop the cake. The flavourings are usually lemon and/or cinnamon. And it’s gluten free, incidentally."
